One more reason I'm happy EVs exist. No ads at my home charger.

YetOnly my smart fridge, vacuum cleaner, phone, A/C control panel, front door smart lock, and reclining bed. But not in my dreams!

Stellantis just got in hot water for pushing ads to the screens in Jeep and Chrysler cars. So... Just you wait. Even if it doesn't show you ads now, they can always update it.

not limited to EVs though

but yes, this is one reason I won't buy a car with tech like that

And I can always replace it. Charging stations are not complicated. And they don’t need connections to the internet to run.

OpenEVSE if you like tinkering or supporting open source.

Define "define got water" here because all I recall is people complaining. I have not heard that they faced and consequences.

Only brand loyal customers are buying those teash brands. Ads isn't going to effect sales.
