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.
Zigaflow gives EV charging installers the operational infrastructure to scale.
- 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.
Up and running in four simple steps
Lead Capture and Site Survey
Enquiries arrive via web forms, referrals, and charge point manufacturer partner networks and must be logged with site address, connection type, and grant eligibility. Survey findings including DNO capacity, cable run distances, and charger model preferences are recorded against the lead before quoting begins.
Quote and Proposal Creation
Quotes are built from a product and labor library covering charge point hardware, cabling, groundworks, and OZEV-compliant installation fees. Branded proposals including equipment specs, warranty terms, and grant deduction breakdowns are sent to the client for approval.
Job Scheduling and Installation Management
Approved jobs are scheduled against engineer availability, subcontractor bookings, and equipment delivery dates, with DNO notification milestones tracked throughout. Installation progress, commissioning sign-off, and OZEV grant documentation are managed against each job record to ensure compliance and completion.
Invoicing, Payments, and Accounts Sync
Invoices are raised on job completion with grant amounts correctly deducted and remaining balances clearly itemized for the client. Payment status is tracked against each job and invoice data is synced to accounting software such as Xero or QuickBooks to keep records current.

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.
