15 Ways Interactive Digital Signage Enhances the EV Charging Experience
As the electric vehicle (EV) revolution accelerates, charging stations are becoming more than just a pit stop for power—they’re evolving into hubs of convenience, information, and engagement. At Envision Charging, we’re proud to lead this charge with our innovative EV charging kiosks, like the EVC-1, which integrates AI and digital signage to transform the charging experience. Here are 15 ways interactive digital signage enhances the EV charging experience for drivers, operators, and communities alike.
1. Real-Time Charging Status Updates
Digital signage on our EV charging kiosks displays live updates on charging progress, battery levels, and estimated completion times. This keeps drivers informed and reduces anxiety about when their vehicle will be ready to hit the road again.
2. Intelligent Customer Service with an AI Concierge and Service Personalities
Imagine plugging in your EV and being greeted by AN AI Concierge on a vibrant 55-inch display. Your personal travel guide with detailed knowledge of the area. With app integration, our kiosks can deliver tailored messages, making every charging session feel uniquely personal and welcoming.
3. Targeted Local Advertising
While your vehicle charges, digital signage can showcase promotions from nearby businesses—think coffee shops, restaurants, or retail stores. This not only enhances your experience with relevant offers but also supports local economies.
4. Seamless Payments
Whether it’s a tap-to-pay option or a QR code, our digital displays provide a seamless payment process is intuitive, fast, and frustration-free. All synced and mirrored on our Envision Encore app.
5. Entertainment While You Wait
Boredom is a thing of the past. Our kiosks can stream news, weather updates, or short videos, turning downtime into an engaging break—perfect for those longer charging sessions.
6. Navigation to Nearby Amenities
Digital signage can guide you to the nearest restroom, café, or shopping area with interactive maps. This added convenience ensures you make the most of your time while your EV powers up.
7. Flight, Train, and Metro Information
For chargers near transit hubs, digital signage can display real-time flight, train, or metro schedules. It’s a game-changer for travelers needing to coordinate their next move while powering up.
8. Enhanced Safety with Integrated Cameras
Safety meets innovation with hidden security cameras in our EVC-4 kiosks. Digital signage can alert drivers to active surveillance, deterring vandalism and ensuring peace of mind in public spaces.
9. Digital Directories for Business, Education, and Medical Centers
Located near a corporate campus, university, or hospital? Our digital signage can display directories, helping visitors find offices, lecture halls, or clinics with ease while they charge.
10. Wayfinding for Nearby Destinations, Campus Floor Plans, and Shopping Centers
Beyond basic navigation, our kiosks can offer detailed wayfinding for campus floor plans, shopping center layouts, or directions to popular local destinations—making every stop a seamless part of your journey.
11. Notice and Emergency Messaging for Municipals and Communities
Our kiosks serve as vital communication hubs, delivering municipal notices, community updates, or emergency messages—like evacuation routes or power outage alerts—directly to drivers and passersby.
12. Customer Service Innovation
Businesses hosting our chargers can easily plug into our digital signage network to offer discounts, products and services, or reinforce their brands with branded wayfinding icons, banner and full page interactive ads with point of sale, complete integrations with APIs. It’s a powerful way to make sales and bring awareness to your offerings.
13. Fun Facts and Educational Support
Charging time flies with fun facts about EVs, renewable energy, or local history displayed on-screen. It’s an entertaining way to educate drivers and spark curiosity about sustainable living.
14. Interactive Play-to-Win Games, Discount Games, or AR/VR Photobooth
Turn charging into fun with interactive games—play to win local discounts, spin a digital wheel for rewards, or step into an AR/VR photobooth for a memorable selfie with virtual EV-themed backdrops. It’s entertainment that keeps you coming back.
