Reduced Cost Per EV Driver Sign Up by 95% in 3 Months with Meta and Google Ads

Background

EVCS is building one of the largest electric car charging networks on the West Coast, with high-quality fast charging stations spanning major highways and urban centers. The physical infrastructure was solid, but the business needed to grow its subscriber base to achieve long-term sustainability and attract new investors.

Challenge

  • Strong charging station network, but low subscription adoption
  • High initial subscriber acquisition cost ($492 per subscriber)
  • Needed rapid traction to support investor fundraising efforts

Approach

Paid Media

  • Launched and optimized Meta Ads and Google Ads targeting EV drivers in California and the Pacific Northwest
  • Built funnel structures to convert interest into long-term subscriptions rather than one-off charges

Creative Production

  • Partnered with Born Ready Films to elevate EVCS's brand imagery
  • Rented a Rivian and Tesla and filmed a cinematic drive up the California coast
  • Captured drone footage and professional photography of EVCS charging stations to power ad creative

Iterative Optimization

  • Tested messaging angles (cost savings vs. convenience vs. sustainability)
  • Reinvested learnings into creative and targeting to maximize ROI
