Here are some of the larger e-ink displays.[1] No prices given. They're being pitched to cities as bus stop displays, because they can be run from a small solar panel. It might make sense for that, because having power run to a bus stop sign probably costs more than an expensive E-ink panel.

I notice that some Alibaba sellers of similar displays copied some of their images from that site.

You still need the bus data sign illuminated at night, and bus stops have plenty of room on top of the shelter for a larger solar panel.

Boston's got some of the solar-powered ones, I've seen them late 2022: https://blog.eink.com/bostons-ink

Looks like they were also using them for transit at one point, but I haven't seen these myself: https://www.mbta.com/projects/solar-powered-e-ink-signs
