How people buy a home charger

An EV charger is bought by someone who has just been handed a problem they did not choose. A car is arriving in two weeks and the supplied cable takes all night on a normal socket. They do not know their connector standard, their consumer unit has no spare capacity that they know of, and they have no idea whether they need an electrician or a plug.

That is the whole marketing challenge. The product itself is not complicated to explain, but it sits behind three gates the shopper cannot open alone: does it fit my car, will my electrical panel take it, and who installs it. A store that opens those gates on the page converts a research visit into an order. A store that leaves them shut sends the shopper back to search, where they usually end up buying through whoever their electrician suggests.

We work with charger brands and specialist retailers that already sell online, covering wall units, portable and travel chargers, cables, adapters and pedestal mounts. The work is the four numbers behind revenue, applied to a category with a high ticket, an installation step, incentive paperwork and a buying window that opens the day the car is ordered. The written growth plan is free and the fee after it is flat and monthly.

The sequence is nearly always the same. The car is ordered. The dealer mentions home charging. The buyer searches for their car model plus home charger and lands in a category full of amperage figures, connector names and installation warnings.

First they establish the connector. In North America they are working out whether they need a plug that matches their vehicle or an adapter, and in Europe they are checking their socket type. Then the electrical question: how many amps the unit draws, whether the panel has room, whether a load management feature avoids an expensive upgrade, and whether it can be plugged into an existing outlet or must be hardwired.

Then the practical ones. Cable length, because the parking space is rarely where the panel is. Whether it can live outdoors in the weather. Whether it is listed and certified for their market. Whether it schedules charging for the cheap overnight window on their tariff, and whether the app is required for that or optional.

Finally the install. Most buyers do not have an electrician and do not want to find one. If your page names what to ask for, gives the specification an electrician needs, and offers an install partner or a quote step, the order tends to happen there. If it does not, the electrician chooses the product instead of the customer.

Where EV charger brands
lose revenue

The four levers, in this niche.

Visitors

Visitors: be found by car model, connector and rebate

Charger search is triggered by a car, not by a product category. People search their vehicle name plus home charger, their connector standard, their amperage, or the name of a local incentive programme. We build campaigns around those entry points, keep travel and portable charger queries separate from wall units, and set up market-specific ad groups since connector standards and incentive schemes differ by country and by region. Installer and electrician searches get their own path, because they buy differently and repeatedly.

Conversion rate

Conversion: settle the fit, the panel and the installer

The page needs a short fit tool that takes the car and returns the connector or adapter, then asks about the panel and returns the amperage the buyer should choose. Beside it goes the installation reality: hardwired or plug-in, what the electrician needs to know, the outdoor rating, the cable length options and the certification for the market. Where you can offer an install partner or a quote request, that is the strongest conversion element on the page, stronger than any price change.

Average order

Order value: the install, the cable and the adapter

The unit is only part of what the customer needs. A longer cable if the parking space is far from the panel, a wall holster or pedestal where there is no suitable wall, an adapter for a second vehicle or for public charging, and where you can offer it, the installation itself. We put those on the product page as named, compatible options rather than a generic accessory row, and repeat the relevant one at the cart while the buyer is still thinking about their driveway.

Repeat purchases

Repeat purchases: second cars, second homes and installers

Households buy one charger, so the repeat customer is usually somebody else. Installers and electricians who fit several a month are the highest value relationship in this niche and deserve their own account terms and reordering path. Beyond that come portable units for travel, adapters when a second vehicle with a different connector arrives, cables that get damaged, and small multi-unit jobs at workplaces and rental properties. Warranty registration gives you the address and the install date to build all of it on.

What we do for
EV charger brands

Five channels, one plan.

Google Shopping and search

Google Shopping and search ads for a product with an installer behind it

Shopping works here, but only when the campaign accepts that the click is the start of a longer decision. Wall units convert over days, not minutes, so their campaigns need a long attribution view and a landing page that answers the panel and installer questions rather than pushing straight to a cart.

We split by product role: hardwired wall units, plug-in units, portable and travel chargers, cables and adapters. Portable chargers and adapters behave like ordinary electronics and convert fast, so they should never share a budget with the wall units.

Search ads carry the queries Shopping cannot serve, such as which charger suits a specific car or whether a panel needs upgrading, and land on the fit tool. Geographic targeting follows the certifications you hold, because a unit listed for one market should not be advertised into another where it is not approved.

Meta and TikTok

Meta and TikTok ads that show the install, not the box

The persuasive content in this category is documentary. A finished install on a normal garage wall with the cable reaching a normal parking spot. A time lapse of an electrician fitting the unit so the buyer can see how big a job it is. A phone screen showing an overnight charge scheduled to the cheap tariff window.

We build audiences around the trigger rather than around car enthusiasm: people researching a specific model, people who have recently configured a car, people searching charging costs. Creative leads with the objection, so the ad for the panel-anxious buyer opens with load management and the ad for the apartment or rental buyer opens with the portable unit.

Retargeting is patient and rotates through fit, install and running cost. Anyone who used the fit tool sees the exact unit and amperage it recommended, with the install option attached.

Merchant Center and the feed

Merchant Center for chargers, cables and market certifications

Titles have to carry the facts a shopper filters on: the connector standard, the amperage, hardwired or plug-in, and the cable length. That is a lot for a title, so the order matters and it should be consistent across the catalogue.

Most charger brands own their identifiers, so where a genuine barcode exists it must be right, and where none exists the identifier exists attribute goes to false rather than a code being invented. Cable length and colour variants share an item group ID.

Certification and market approval belong in product highlights and the description, not just on a spec image, because a shopper checking whether a unit is listed for their country will not open a PDF. Shipping settings need attention since wall units, long cables and pedestals differ in size and weight. Custom labels mark amperage tier, connector standard and whether an installation service can be attached, so campaigns split on the things that actually matter.

SEO and AI search

SEO and AI search for 'what charger do I need for my car'

The questions people put to assistants before buying are practical and answerable: which connector does my car use, how many amps do I need, can I plug a charger into a normal outlet, do I need an electrician, will my panel handle it, what is load management, is this charger safe to mount outside, how do I schedule charging on a cheap overnight tariff, which adapters do I need for public chargers.

Assistants quote pages that state those answers in plain text, so we write them on your site rather than leaving them to forums. Each product page gets a compatibility section by vehicle connector, an electrical requirements section written for a homeowner and again for an electrician, an outdoor rating note and a scheduling explanation.

Collection pages are organised by the decision, such as by connector, by amperage and by whether an electrician is needed, and separate pages cover incentive programmes by region without giving advice you cannot support.

Email and SMS

Email and SMS around the install date and the paperwork

The pre-purchase sequence carries most of the value because the decision sits between a car order and a delivery date. Emails that take one gate at a time, connector then panel then installer then tariff scheduling, keep the shopper engaged without a discount and tell you which gate they are stuck at.

After the order the flow shifts to the install. A message with the exact specification to hand an electrician, a checklist of what to confirm before the visit, and where you offer installation, the booking steps. Then a follow-up after the first charge covering scheduling, app setup and any incentive paperwork that has to be submitted within a window, since missing that deadline is a common source of complaints.

Installers get a separate list entirely, with stock, lead times and reorder links. SMS is used only for delivery and install appointment windows.

First three fixes

What the plan usually starts with for EV charger brands.

  1. Shoppers cannot tell which unit fits their car and their panel

    We build a two-question fit tool on the product and collection pages: the vehicle, which returns the connector or the adapter needed, and the electrical situation, which returns the amperage and whether hardwiring is required. It replaces a spec table that only an electrician can read with an answer a homeowner can act on.

  2. The order stalls at the words consult a qualified electrician

    That sentence is where most charger carts are abandoned. We put the electrician step inside the purchase instead of after it, with the specification to hand over, what to ask for, an estimate of the work involved and, where you can offer it, an install partner or a quote request on the page.

  3. Rebate and incentive questions are answered after the sale, not before

    Buyers want to know whether a unit qualifies for a programme before they choose it, and the paperwork often has a deadline. We publish region-by-region eligibility notes on the relevant products and build a post-purchase email that walks through the submission while the window is still open.

Questions from EV charger brands

No, but it changes what the page has to do. The store has to sell the whole outcome, not just the box, which means the specification an electrician needs, an honest description of the work involved and, where possible, an install option or quote request. Brands that hide the install step behind a warning line lose the order to whoever the electrician recommends.

We treat connector and market approval as feed attributes and campaign boundaries, not as description text. Each unit is labelled with the connector and the markets it is certified for, campaigns are targeted to those markets only, and adapter products get their own collection so a driver with a mismatched vehicle finds the answer instead of leaving.

You can state what a programme requires and whether your product meets those requirements, with the region and the date the information applies to. Avoid promising an amount or an approval, since programmes change and eligibility depends on the household. Publish it as a maintained reference page rather than as a claim in ad copy.

Usually yes, and separately. Installers buy repeatedly, care about stock and lead time rather than persuasion, and often decide the brand for the homeowner. They deserve their own landing page, account terms, a fast reorder path and their own email list, kept apart from consumer promotions.

Adapters when a second vehicle with a different connector arrives, a portable unit for travel, replacement or longer cables, holsters and pedestals, and multi-unit orders for a workplace or rental property. Warranty registration gives you the install date and address, which is what those flows are built on.
