EV charging installers who scale without the chaos
The EV charging market is growing rapidly. Installation businesses need professional survey-to-quote workflows, OZEV grant administration and efficient procurement to capitalise on the opportunity.
The operations platform for EV charging installation businesses
EV charging installation combines electrical contracting with a fast-moving technology market and a complex subsidy landscape. Businesses that can navigate OZEV grants, manage diverse equipment brands and deliver installations efficiently will own this market.
- Most UK EV charging installers have 5-50 staff and handle residential, commercial, and fleet depot projects simultaneously.
- OZEV grant administration adds compliance documentation requirements to nearly every domestic and workplace installation job.
- Installers juggle subcontractors, DNO applications, and equipment lead times from multiple hardware suppliers like Rolec and Hypervolt.
- Project values range from single-unit domestic installs at £800 to multi-bay depot projects exceeding £200,000.
- Rapid sector growth means many installers are scaling fast but running quoting and job tracking on spreadsheets and email.

The problems we solve
OZEV grant administration adds complexity to every job
OZEV grants require specific documentation, equipment eligibility checks and submission processes. Managing this alongside the installation process adds significant admin to every job.
Zigaflow job workflows incorporate grant documentation stages. Every required document is gathered as part of the normal job process, not as an afterthought.
DNO applications for high-power chargers cause delays
High-power commercial chargers require DNO capacity applications that can take months. Without early identification and tracking, applications are submitted too late.
Zigaflow project milestones flag DNO application requirements based on charger specifications. Applications are initiated at the right point in every project.
Commercial site surveys generate too much back-office work
Multi-bay commercial EV charging projects at car parks, depots and fleet sites require detailed site surveys, load calculations and design work before quoting.
Zigaflow templates for commercial EV survey-to-quote workflows capture all required information systematically, reducing the time from survey to proposal.
