The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is gathering pace in Australia and globally. With more government incentives, higher fuel costs, and more focus on sustainability, consumers and businesses alike are turning to electric vehicles. This trend is creating a demand for EV charging facilities, and electricians are ideally placed to take advantage of this trend.
Here’s why electricians stand a good chance of dominating the fast-growing EV charging business.
The secret to success starts with the proper certifications. There are technical requirements that must be adhered to when it comes to EV charger installations, and Australian standards compliance is the most important. Seek out courses and certifications like the NECA EV charger installation course, or any other approved training including residential as well as commercial systems.
It is equally important to have knowledge of the local council and state regulations. Everything has to be safe and compliant, and having the details of the regulatory landscape will prevent you from spending money on pricey errors.
Partnerships with good EV charger companies could have the ability to generate new business ventures. Partnership with credible companies assures you will have stable products to deliver and generates trust of the customer toward your business.
By achieving authorised installer status for brands such as Ocular, you place yourself at a competitive advantage in a brand-oriented market.
It’s not all about the installation, your customers will need you to be a guru. Learn about various types of chargers (Level 1, 2, and DC fast chargers), smart charging features, load balancing, solar support, and mobile app integration. Business users and fleet operators tend to seek advice on what solution is ideal for their uses
Remaining ahead of trends like vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology or government incentives also serves to enhance your services and make you an innovative professional.
Electricians who provide end-to-end solutions – from site visit, supply, installation, service, and consumer education – are more likely to thrive. Most customers, particularly in commercial and strata environments, want a one-stop solution rather than having to negotiate with multiple contractors.
Value addition by offering services such as smart metering, load management systems, and integration with renewable energy can greatly enhance your earning potential and clientele.
Don’t rely on referrals only. Build a professional website, advertise your services on local directories, and promote your EV charging services on social media. SEO-optimise your website to get the attention of homeowners, developers, and businesses seeking EV charging installations in your locality.
Networking with real estate developers, commercial property managers, and builders can also create leads for big-sized projects.
