This will backfire anyway, because the printed amount will be very low. Let's say a customer charges for an hour at 5 kilowatt, so 5 kilowatt-hour. So the rest

Let's say a customer charges for an hour at 5 kilowatt, so 5 kilowatt-hour. So the restaurant subsidizes less than a dollar worth of electricity. And not everyone uses an EV, so the bill would say something like "10 cents of your bill went towards subsidizing free charging for customers with an EV". Everybody will compare this to gasoline prices and conclude EVs are cheap to operate.

I can see it now: "well shit, Edna, maybe those damn hippies have the right idea after all."

I tell YOU what to do" mentality. They will scream for a refund. You cannot reason with these people. At best, you can ignore them.
