These days it appears that most production EVs are emulating Tesla and slapping tablet-like touch screens in the middle of their instrument panels. They're all "connected," to one extent or another, and they boast that they can link to your mobile phone. It can't be much longer before we're being dunned with offers to "Charge your EV for free with Google Charge (tm)! Get the app today!" Naturally the ads on that screen will be tailored to what they know about you. That'll be quite a lot, since in addition to your phone reporting who you call and text, and what websites you visit, your EV will be reporting where you drive and maybe even what you talk about with your passengers. If the number of people willing to accept ads on their moble phones to save paying a buck or so for apps is any indication, it'll be a hit.
