Trailfire turns every Level 2 home install, fleet depot wire-up, and commercial charger project into more 5-star reviews, more referrals, and more nearby driveways — built for the way an EV-charger install spreads through a neighborhood.
Per-permit timing · rebate-tracker reminders · fleet-vs-residential routing · postcards to every EV-driving neighbor.
Built for EV Installers
EV adoption spreads block by block. When one neighbor gets a Level 2 charger, the rest of the street starts asking. Trailfire mails the right postcard to the right home before the next EV hits the driveway.
EV charger work is electrical work — homeowners want a licensed pro. Trailfire surfaces your verified reviews and license number on every postcard, every email, every social proof point.
Today's 32A install is tomorrow's 48A upgrade. Add a second car. Move to dual-circuit. Trailfire's drip marketing keeps you top-of-mind so customers come back to you when the next charger lands.
Why EV Charger Installation is different
EV charger installations are the fastest-growing residential electrical service in the country, and generic review tools weren't built for the block-by-block adoption cluster, the tax-credit urgency, or the cross-sell into panel upgrades. Your platform has to capture all three to win in a market where adoption doubles every 18 months.
Solar and EVs spread geographically. When one neighbor installs a charger, the rest of the block is statistically due within 24 months. Trailfire's radius mailings around every install convert at industry-leading rates because the prospects already see the equipment in the garage and the new car in the driveway.
Half of older homes need a panel upgrade to support a Level 2 charger. Trailfire's diagnostic-to-quote flow surfaces the panel-upgrade conversation systematically — capturing the $2K-$5K add-on that price-shopper customers often don't even know they need.
Federal EV charger tax credits create a fiscal-year-end demand spike. Trailfire's drip campaigns surface 'last weeks for the 2026 credit' messaging in October-December to your prospect database — converting customers who've been thinking about it all year.

Built for the way EV charger installation actually works
A new wall-mounted charger is a marketing billboard for the whole block. Postcards and review prompts fire while the neighbor is still curious — not three months later when they've already called someone else.
Customers want help with utility rebates and permit paperwork. Drip touchpoints keep you in their inbox during the 30-90 day rebate window — converting the relationship into a referral.
A fleet depot install needs a different review template than a homeowner. Trailfire routes by service type so the ask matches the buyer.
