The insights: Electric vehicle owners are ideal targets for out-of-home (OOH) advertising and foot traffic.
Chargers bring in foot traffic to surrounding areas. Half (50%) of EV drivers go grocery shopping while waiting for their vehicles to charge, per a JOLT Audience Insights survey in Australia.
Our take: Here’s how retailers, brands, and advertisers can get ahead in this space:
Install charging stations outside brick-and-mortar locations to capitalize on both foot traffic and OOH ads.
Add QR codes to EV charger advertising that provide discounts to nearby or online businesses.
Offer store credits or gift cards that cover the cost of charging fees to boost loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals.
Out-of-home (OOH) ads prompt an average 13.3% growth in US ad awareness, outpacing TV (10.2%), digital (3.9%), and connected TV (2.2%), according to a July report from Clear Channel Outdoor and Kantar.

Commerce media is evolving beyond online retail into new frontiers like out-of-home (OOH) ads at gas stations and convenience stores, creating “a once in a career window to reorient your business to the opportunity,” according to Sean McCaffrey president and CEO of GSTV, which serves commerce media ads at gas pumps.
How can OOH ad buyers calibrate their ad spending and budget allocations against the market, and how can media companies and solution providers assess whether their ad revenues are in line with industry trends?
