Charge Rigs Launches Install Planner, Streamlining Process for EV Charging Contractors

Charge Rigs has released Install Planner, a cloud-based platform built to consolidate every phase of an EV charging project, from site design and NEC compliance to customer approvals and field operations, into a single tool for electrical contractors.

The launch comes as contractors face mounting pressure to scale their EV work without scaling their overhead. Install Planner addresses that gap by replacing the patchwork of spreadsheets, drawing tools, and email chains most firms rely on today.

Canvas Designer and Live Cost Engine

At the heart of the platform is an interactive Canvas Designer with a library of 183+ pre-loaded EV components, including Level 2 and Level 3 chargers, transformers, panels, and conduit routing elements. Contractors can overlay aerial imagery or uploaded site plans with calibrated real-world measurements, then drag and drop components into place.

As a design takes shape, a Live Cost Engine calculates material and labor costs in real time. When the design is finalized, one-click PDF generation produces a branded, itemized quote ready to send. A process that previously took two to four hours now runs in under 30 minutes.

AI-Powered Compliance Checking

Install Planner’s AI Design Advisor evaluates each installation against NEC standards — covering service capacity, conductor sizing, grounding, and ADA compliance — and flags issues with specific code references before anything goes to permit. An integrated Wire Sizing Calculator automates conductor selection based on load characteristics and derating factors. The platform’s development team puts it plainly: catching an engineering error during design takes minutes; catching it during inspection costs days.

Customer Portal and Field Operations

A branded Customer Portal gives clients a secure space to review designs, examine cost breakdowns, leave comments, and sign proposals electronically — cutting out the approval email chain entirely.

For field crews, a mobile-optimized “My Day” view delivers site plans, task checklists with one-tap completion, photo documentation, and material pull lists generated directly from approved designs. The aim is to eliminate the return trips that eat into project margins.

Early Access Results

Contractors in early access have collectively designed more than 2,500 installations and generated over $12 million in quotes through the platform. Some firms reported close rate gains of up to 40%.

Install Planner is available now with a 14-day free trial. More information is available at chargerigs.com.

Charge Rigs Is Building the Complete Stack for EV Charging Infrastructure

Most companies in the EV charging space pick a lane. They make hardware, or they build software, or they run a charging network. Charge Rigs is doing all three, and betting that vertical integration is the only way to deliver infrastructure that actually works.

Hardware Built for Real-World Demands

The Charge Rigs hardware lineup covers more deployment scenarios than any single competitor. The FLEXX is an industry-first mobile DC fast charger delivering 120kW with dual NACS and CCS1 connector support. It can be deployed anywhere without a permanent install. The OMEGA handles stationary depot operations with a modular architecture that scales from 120kW to 320kW and runs 24/7. For locations without grid access, the GenIQ integrates a generator directly into the charging unit for rapid off-grid deployment.

Rounding out the lineup are the DYNAMO, a wheeled 40kW shop charger for service bays, and the APEX, a dual-fuel Level 2 charger powered by gas or propane for truly grid-independent charging at 11.5kW.

All hardware is BABA compliant and OCPP ready.

Six Software Platforms, One Ecosystem

The software side is where Charge Rigs separates itself most clearly. The company has built six production platforms from the ground up, each solving a distinct problem in the EV charging workflow.

Asynio is the flagship — an AI-native charger management system with zero transaction fees and support for OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1. Infineum handles global roaming as a universal protocol translator bridging OCPI, OICP, OCHP, and eMIP. Bid Responder uses AI to turn hours of RFP work into minutes. EVsocial is a purpose-built community platform for EV drivers with a free CPO dashboard. Install Planner gives electrical contractors a full SaaS environment to manage projects from site design through completed installation. And EV Calc Pro is an NEC-based electrical calculator covering wire sizing, voltage drop, distance calculations, and transformer sizing.

Every platform works independently. Together, they form a closed-loop ecosystem that competitors assembling point solutions cannot replicate.

KwiqEV: CaaS With No Excuses

KwiqEV is Charge Rigs’ Charging as a Service offering, and it’s the clearest expression of the company’s vertical integration philosophy. Because Charge Rigs owns the hardware, the software, and the support operation, KwiqEV can back its network with 99.995% uptime, 24/7 AI monitoring, and an average issue response time under two minutes, with no third-party vendors to blame when something goes wrong.

Drivers interact through an app-less interface. Operators get a platform that anticipates problems before they affect customers.

Fleet Charging From Depot to Driver

For fleet operators, Charge Rigs pairs its hardware with Asynio Fleet software for an end-to-end solution. Features include RFID fob access control with per-driver and per-vehicle session tracking, departure-based smart charging schedules, dynamic load balancing, cross-tenant agreements for shared charging, and fleet cost centers for departmental chargebacks. The platform integrates with Fleetio, Geotab, Motive, Samsara, and Verizon Connect.

Leasing and Dealer Programs

For operators not ready to purchase, Charge Rigs offers flexible leasing on FLEXX and GenIQ units with 12 to 60 month terms, full maintenance included, and units that arrive pre-commissioned. For channel partners, the dealer program includes exclusive product access, tier-based pricing, technical training, marketing and RFP support, and priority Rigs Care.

Charge Rigs is headquartered in Apopka, FL. More information is available at chargerigs.com or by calling (321) 396-0367.
