EV charger installation demand is surging as electric vehicle adoption accelerates. Homeowners buying a new EV want a Level 2 charger installed before their car arrives — and they move fast. They submit a few quote requests, the first installer to respond professionally gets the call.
If you're a licensed electrician or EV install specialist, you're competing with other local contractors and national networks. Speed and professionalism are your differentiators.
What an EV Charger Lead Is Worth
A residential Level 2 EV charger installation runs $800–$2,500 including the charger, panel work, and labor. Commercial installations for apartment buildings, offices, or fleet charging can run $5,000–$50,000+. Every missed lead is a job that takes 4–8 hours and pays $1,000–$2,000 in profit.
The EV Charger Lead Follow-Up Sequence
Touch 1: Instant Text (Under 60 Seconds)
"Hi! This is Alex from PowerUp Electric — thanks for reaching out about EV charger installation. What type of vehicle and charger are you looking to install? I'll get you a free quote today!"
EV buyers are tech-forward and expect fast, digital-first responses. A slow phone call or 2-hour email delay signals you're behind the curve.
Touch 2: 30-Minute Follow-Up
"No rush — even just knowing your vehicle model and whether you have a 200A panel helps me estimate. Most Level 2 installs run $800–$1,500 and we can usually schedule within the week."
Providing a ballpark range in the follow-up helps qualify the lead and demonstrates expertise.
Touch 3: Day-2 Re-Engagement
"Hey — still happy to get you a free EV charger install quote! We're scheduling now and can often get you done before your car arrives. What works for a quick site visit?"
