Where to find electric vehicle owners in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Electric Vehicle Owners

Electric Vehicle Owners want to easily find charging stations. However, they can't get it because they have limited visibility of available charging stations.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. EV Charge Finder.

Charging Station Locator App : An app that provides real-time location data of nearby charging stations for electric vehicle owners, making it easy for them to find and use the stations. Of course it is much better than the stuff from ChargePoint, or PlugShare!

How to find Electric Vehicle Owners

You can get insights about the pain points of electric vehicle owners if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where electric vehicle owners hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of electric vehicle owners, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Charging Station Locator App.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.

If you do this manually, it may take you hours each day. Automate it, with a little help from the AI in CustomerPing!
