EV charger demand is surging — are you answering every enquiry?

April 4, 2026 · 4 min read

The UK registered over 380,000 new electric vehicles in 2025. Every single one needs a home charger installed. At £800-1,500 per installation, this is the highest-value growth segment for UK electricians in a generation.

But EV charger customers are not like your typical electrical clients. They are researching. They are comparing 3-4 installers. And they are making decisions fast — because the car is already on the driveway.

The EV charger caller profile

The typical EV charger enquiry comes from someone who has just bought or ordered an electric car. They have already read about OZEV grants, they know roughly what a charger costs, and they want to book a site visit. They are calling during work hours — their lunch break, between meetings, on the way home.

If you are mid-rewire or up a ladder, you miss the call. They call the next OZEV-approved installer. That £1,200 job is gone in 30 seconds.

What your AI says when they call about an EV charger

It answers instantly. It confirms you install EV chargers, gives your price range, explains that a site visit is needed to give a precise quote, and books the visit into your calendar. The caller hangs up knowing exactly what happens next.

It also asks the questions that help you prepare: what car they have, where they want the charger, how far from the consumer unit, and whether they have off-street parking. You arrive at the site visit with all the information you need.
