Scaling the Grid: How Electric Miles Transformed EV SaaS

Executive Summary

Electric Miles (em) is a software-first electric vehicle (EV) charging and power management company. Although they built industry-leading Smart Charging software capable of managing commercial fleets, smart tariffs, and hardware compatibility, they lacked the digital authority and targeted search engine presence required to attract high-intent B2B decision makers.

Autofocuss was brought on board as growth consultants. Rather than executing standard social media marketing agency playbooks, we constructed a custom digital authority engine. Under 12 months, this strategy generated 535% growth in LinkedIn followers, over 100,463 targeted impressions, a 187% surge in content interaction, and a steady stream of verifiable inbound sales meetings.

The Digital Disconnect (The Old Way)

Prior to partnering with Autofocuss, Electric Miles was experiencing an "Invisibility Gap" across the B2B marketplace. Their challenges included:

• Very Low Brand Awareness: Despite having superior technology, key buyers—such as commercial site owners, fleet managers, and hotels—were unaware of their offerings, drastically prolonging the sales cycle.
• Zero Inbound Pipeline: Inbound leads from digital and performance channels were close to zero, forcing the business to rely entirely on expensive outbound sales methods.
• Inconsistent Footprint: Social channels and search listings had random, unaligned updates that did not project the enterprise-grade authority needed to win enterprise integrations.

Architecting the Digital Ecosystem

Autofocuss designed and deployed the Strategy Engine, replacing fragmented outreach with focused vertical funnels targeting four key audiences:

• B2B Fleets & Hotels: Promoting the core eMPACT smart energy management platform to reduce utility costs.
• EV Installers: Building toolkits and highlighting hardware compatibility to establish Electric Miles as the default integration choice.
• B2C EV Owners: Showcasing app updates, smart energy tariffs, and carbon-reduction features.
• Industry Partners: Heavy positioning to facilitate integrations and build digital authority with hardware manufacturers.

Phase 1: Reaching the Grid (Top-of-Funnel)

To move from static obscurity to high-energy digital presence, we introduced dynamic B2B video and mobile reels content. We humanized the technology by showing the real-world impact of smart grid transitions. Using hooks like "Electric Vehicles Are Taking The World By Storm" and "The Smarter Way to Install," we built instant interest and drove massive, organic reach across key B2B trade accounts.

Phase 2: Showcasing Software Capabilities

B2B decision makers need to see how software fits into their daily workflows. We placed Electric Miles software dashboards directly onto real commercial vehicles and logistics locations. This helped bridge the gap between abstract digital tools and physical operations, delivering clear messages directly to hotels, commercial sites, and fleet operators.

Phase 3: Leveraging Industry Authority

To shorten the sales cycle, we launched targeted marketing campaigns focusing on strategic migrations and high-profile integrations. Specifically, we promoted:

• EVBOX Migration Integration: Helping users migrate their chargers seamlessly to eMPACT as Everon CPMS prepared to stop support.
• Nidec Conversion Partnership: Co-branding campaigns with Nidec Conversion to establish mutual authority and trust in heavy industrial infrastructure.

Phase 4: Converting Trust into Action

To validate the company's growth, we leveraged two primary growth pillars:

• Social Proof & Validation: We promoted Electric Miles' shortlisting for the prestigious Transport + Energy Awards 2025 (Best Product/New Technology Category) and drove transparent positive reviews on Trustpilot, App Store, and Google Play.
• Physical Activation: Using performance marketing and paid ads, we directed high-intent leads to book meetings at physical event spaces, specifically targeting the icnc24 event in Berlin.
