Be the installer who quotes from a panel photo the same day, and has the charger on the wall before the car arrives.
An EV charger job starts with a deadline the customer did not pick: the day the car is delivered. The installer who gets a clear photo of the panel, answers the permit question and books the install that week wins the job, the second car and the salesperson's next referral. We build EV charger installers a website, phone line and CRM that do exactly that.
- “EV charger installation near me”
- “Level 2 charger installer”
- “can my panel handle an EV charger”
- “how much to install a home EV charger”
- “electrician to install a car charger in my garage”
- “do I need a permit for an EV charger”
- “EV charger for condo parking”
- “charging stations for my business”
The car has a delivery date, and your quote depends on a photo
Almost nobody searches for a charger installer until they have signed for a car. The salesperson hands over a brochure for a national installer network, the buyer searches for a local electrician on the drive home, and a few ask the neighbor who already has a charger. The buyer wants three answers: can my panel handle it, what will it cost, and can it be done before the car shows up. None of those can be answered without seeing the panel, so the first real step in every sale is getting a photo of the open panel door with the label and the breakers visible.
That photo is also where shared leads hurt. A buyer who fills out a form on a lead marketplace is often matched with several electricians at once, each of whom pays for the match and each of whom asks for the same picture of the panel. Installer networks that work with dealerships and manufacturers typically send you a work order at a rate they set, and the customer record stays with the network, so the second car, the neighbor and the workplace charging project all route back through them rather than to you.
Demand follows car deliveries rather than the weather. Year-end sales pushes, new model launches and tax season each bring a wave of buyers with the same two-week deadline. Winter installs happen in cold garages, and outdoor pedestal installs wait for the ground to thaw where it freezes. Beyond the single-family garage there are condo and HOA installs, which run through a board, a shared electrical room and a question about who pays for the power, and small commercial installs for workplaces, dealerships and fleets, which need a site survey and a conversation with the utility. The company that owns its search presence, its phone number and its customer and partner list gets the garage job this week and the fleet job next year.
An EV charger site that gets the panel photo
The visitor is a car buyer with a delivery date, standing in the dealership or sitting at the kitchen table. The site has to answer the capacity, permit and timing questions plainly and make sending a panel photo the obvious next step.
Home Level 2 charger page
What a home install involves in plain words: hardwired or plug-in, where the charger mounts, how the circuit runs from the panel to the garage, and how long the crew is on site. This is the page the dealership link points to.
Panel capacity page
Explains what a load calculation is, what it means when a panel is full, and the two usual answers: a panel upgrade or a load management device. It ends with how to photograph the panel safely without removing the cover.
Permits and inspections page
Who pulls the permit (you), what the inspector checks, who needs to be home, and why a permitted install matters for insurance and for any incentive paperwork. It notes that rules vary by city and county.
Photo quote form
Car and delivery date, where the car parks, whether a charger has been bought, a photo of the open panel and one of the garage. Short enough to finish in the dealership parking lot.
Incentives page, kept general
Points to the utility and state program pages and lists the documents you provide (itemized invoice, permit, inspection sign-off). It never states an amount, because programs change and expire.
Condo, HOA and property manager page
The questions boards ask: shared electrical rooms, metering, load sharing between units, who pays for the electricity, and what a board packet from you contains.
Workplace and fleet charging page
A site survey request with the number of spaces, the parking layout and the building's electrical service, written for the facility manager rather than the homeowner.
Answer the delivery-date call while you're inside a panel
EV charger calls come during working hours, when the electrician is on a ladder or has a panel cover off. The AI receptionist answers under your company name, gets the delivery date and the parking situation, texts a link for the panel photo, and books the visit or the remote quote.
How AI reception worksA CRM built around a permit, an inspector and a delivery date
An EV charger job looks like a one-visit electrical call from the outside. Inside it has a remote quote, a permit application, a charger that has to be on the truck, an install day, an inspection that may be days later and a paperwork packet the homeowner needs afterward. We build the CRM around that sequence.
Panel photos and load calc on the lead
The photo of the panel label, the main breaker and the open slots, plus the electrician's load calculation and the option chosen (upgrade, load management device, or neither), all on the lead before anyone drives.
Permit and inspection tracker
Jurisdiction, permit number, date applied, date issued, inspection requested, passed or corrections needed, and a photo of the signed card. The job board shows which jobs are waiting on a city rather than on you.
Delivery date as the deadline
The car's delivery date sits on the job and drives the schedule. If the dealer pushes delivery, the install moves with it, and the homeowner gets a text confirming the new day.
Charger and vehicle details per job
Charger make, model and serial number, hardwired or receptacle, the amperage the unit is set to, and the car it charges. When the breaker trips two winters later, the tech knows what is on the wall.
Referral partner tracking
Dealership, salesperson, solar company or property manager on every lead, with jobs per partner and the last time someone thanked them. Check the terms of any manufacturer network you belong to before paying anyone for a referral.
Paperwork packet in one click
Itemized invoice, permit copy, inspection sign-off and install photos bundled for the homeowner to submit to their utility or keep for their tax preparer. You provide the documents; they file the forms.
Quotes with the choices built in
Hardwired versus plug-in, panel upgrade versus load management, surge protection, a rough-in for a second charger. The homeowner picks on their phone, signs, and pays the deposit.
Commercial site survey pipeline
A separate set of stages for workplaces and fleets: survey, utility inquiry, design, proposal, approval, trenching, commissioning and networked charger activation, each with its own owner and date.
Market to EV owners and the salespeople who send them
A charger install is a one-off job, but EV owners know other EV owners, buy second EVs, move house and change cars. Dealership salespeople change stores. Your list of customers and partners is yours, and it keeps working after the lead platforms stop, if you write when something is useful and only to people who agreed (see the texting rules guide).
| When | Campaign | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Year end | Delivery rush notice | Dealers push deliveries before the year closes. A note to salespeople and past customers that your calendar has install slots before the holidays, with the photo quote link, lands when buyers are signing. |
| Late winter | Paperwork packet reminder | Send past customers a copy of their invoice and permit documents with a reminder to check their utility and state for any programs they may qualify for. No amounts, no advice, just the documents. |
| Spring | New model delivery season | Visit the dealerships with cards and a page link the salesperson can text to buyers, and send the monthly partner update showing what came from their referrals. |
| Summer | Condo and HOA board season | Boards meet and budget in summer. Offer a short presentation on shared parking charging and a board packet, and email the property managers you already know. |
| Thirty days after install | Review and referral ask | Ask how charging is going, request a Google review naming the town and the car, and ask whether anyone at work is waiting on a delivery. |
| Install anniversary | Charger check-in | A short message about breaker trips, firmware updates and keeping the connector dry, with an offer to rough in a second charger when the next car comes. |
EV Charger Installation, answered.
Can the AI receptionist tell a caller whether their panel can handle a charger?
No, and we set it not to try. It collects the panel photo and the delivery date and books the electrician's quote. Capacity is an electrician's call after a load calculation, and the receptionist says so.
Can the CRM track permits in every city and county we work in?
Yes. Each jurisdiction gets its own record with how it accepts applications and how inspections are scheduled, and every job carries its permit status, so the office sees what is waiting on an inspector.
Can we show rebate or tax credit amounts on the site?
We advise against it. Programs change, expire and have conditions you do not control. The site links to the utility and state pages and lists the documents you provide. Tell customers to check their utility and state, and leave tax questions to their preparer.
How do we know which dealership sent a job?
Each dealership and salesperson gets a short referral link and, if you like, a tracking phone number. The lead records the source, and the partner report shows jobs per dealership so you know whom to thank.
Does this work for commercial and fleet installs?
Yes, with its own pages, its own form and its own pipeline stages. A facility manager asks different questions than a car buyer, and mixing them on one page weakens both.
We are electricians who also do chargers. Do we need a separate site?
Usually a separate section rather than a separate site. The charger pages carry their own forms, photos and search terms, and the rest of the electrical work keeps its pages. If chargers become most of your work, the section can become the home page.
