Electronic car charging

As more and more people seek out installing charging stations to their homes, communities and workplaces, installation professionals have the chance to conquer a booming market. But it’s not just about setting up the hardware anymore. It’s also about creating a long-term relationship of trust that will make recurring revenue possible.

As a charge point installer, you can take simple steps to set yourself up for success in a world where governments themselves are pushing for people and organisations to install charge points and advance charging infrastructures. 

Here are 5 ways in which you as a charge point installer can benefit from charging stations:

1. Get the big guys as your clients

Shopping centres, companies with sizeable fleets, supermarkets, and any other business or organisation that wants to drive people to their parking spaces or sees a daily influx of cars will be installing charge points at their locations. You might think of the average electric vehicle owner as of the main client that will be reaching out to you for an installation. But now you will have a plethora of bigger deals for large clients to take advantage of. This is especially true for those cities which are part of the Go Ultra Low Cities scheme.

2. Be all your clients could ever need

“I LOVE tracking my payment!”, said no customer ever. The current customer is not only looking for the charge point installation, but also for the best way to manage it. If as an installer you partner up with a charge point software provider, such as Monta, then you will automatically have an advantage over your competitors.

By setting up chargers with a managing programme already installed, you allow your customers to handle payment, track efficiency and usage of their charge points without you having to do any extra work. You will solve two major problems for your clients while only having to worry about doing what you do best. 

3. Create a longstanding relationship with your customers

Earn extra revenue by charging your clients an accessible price for a warranty and a recurring fee to offer them maintenance – this is convenient and gives them peace of mind, but it doesn’t take up a whole lot of time from you. Running maintenance on charge points can be beneficial for both parties, as it is a very important procedure which typically does not require heavy resource investment from your side.

4. Get work done from your home and save time!

You will be able to offer your services to more clients a day, maximising your time and efficiency. Unlike most traditional devices installed at homes, such as ovens and heaters, charge points are mostly monitored and serviced online. Regular checkups can be run from the comfort of your office or home, and there will be little to no time spent travelling from client to client. 

5. Jump on an unoccupied, cutting-edge industry
