Get featured on EV Charging Media Outlets in 48 hours

You can, but it requires significant time and effort with uncertain results. Doing your own PR means building lists of journalists who cover the EV and clean tech sectors, crafting personalized pitches for each one, and conducting extensive follow-up. The reality is that most cold pitches are ignored. While this approach can work if you have a truly groundbreaking story and existing media contacts, it's often not a practical use of a founder's time. A distribution service offers a more efficient path to guaranteed coverage, allowing you to focus on building your charging network.

The cost varies widely based on the method you choose. Doing it yourself is technically free, but the time investment is high and the results are not guaranteed. At the other end of the spectrum, hiring a PR agency involves a significant monthly retainer, often starting at $5,000, without guaranteed placements. Press release distribution services offer a middle ground, with one-time fees for guaranteed publication on a set number of news sites. This model provides predictable costs and outcomes, making it a popular choice for startups and SMBs needing to manage their budget effectively. For our specific one-time pricing, you can view the options on our packages page.

The timeline is very fast with a distribution service. Once you submit your press release and it passes our editorial review for publisher compliance, publication begins quickly. You can expect to see your announcement live on hundreds of media outlets, including major financial news sites, within 24 to 48 hours. A full report containing live links to your articles, backlink data, and domain scores is delivered within 3 business days. This speed allows you to capitalize on timely news like a new partnership or station launch immediately.

Announcements with tangible, impactful numbers and significant partnerships perform best. This includes launching a large number of new charging stations in a key region, securing a multi-million dollar funding round, or finalizing a partnership with a major automotive manufacturer to be a preferred charging provider. Other strong topics are achieving a major technological breakthrough, like a new battery-integrated charging system or a significant increase in charging speed (kW). News related to large government contracts or grants for building public infrastructure also generates significant interest as it validates your role in the energy transition.

Editors look for newsworthiness and a professional format. Your release must be about a specific, recent event, not just a general advertisement for your business. Write in a formal, third-person tone (use "the company" instead of "we"). Structure is key. Start with a strong, factual headline. The first paragraph should summarize the entire announcement: who, what, when, where, and why. Subsequent paragraphs can add detail, quotes, and context about your charging technology or market position. Always include a contact person and a link to your website. Avoid hype words like "revolutionary" or "game-changing" and stick to verifiable facts.

Absolutely. For commercial property managers, fleet operators, and municipal planners, risk and credibility are major factors in their decision-making. They want to partner with established, reliable companies, not unproven startups. When you can show them your company has been featured on sites like Business Insider, AP News, or MarketWatch, it acts as powerful third-party validation. It demonstrates that you are a serious player in the industry, reducing their perceived risk and making them more likely to approve the installation of your charging hardware on their properties. It's a key tool for B2B sales and partnership development.
