Transforming the EV Charging Industry with HubSpot: How Quattro Can Help
Let's talk CRM in the EV Industry.
An organisation can only be truly competitive in this sector when customers are well-handled, operational ease is ensured, and meaningful data is extracted for strategic decision-making. Some of the challenges we have identified can be easily rectified by firstly having the right CRM, and secondly utilising it effectively - that's where we come in.
Current challenges:
- Right now is a difficult climate for the EV industry with softening demand for EVs and existing EV owners moving back to ICE vehicles because of the poor UK charging infrastructure (the government moved the ban on the sale of new ICE (internal combustion engines) back to 2035).
- It's more important now than ever to have centralised data that businesses can act on. To keep track of existing EV customers as well as new.
- Customer support needs to be managed perfectly as new EV owners will be nervous about new technology.
- Purchasing a new EV charger isn’t as straight forward as purchasing other electrical appliances and requires suitability checks and liaison with electricity grid suppliers.
