Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Catch the site conditions and scope gaps that commonly turn an EV charger quote into unpaid labor, extra material, or a difficult change order.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Find price-changing gaps
Use the prompt to separate confirmed conditions from assumptions and identify anything that blocks a reliable fixed price.
03
Build the price and quote boundaries
Calculate the base installation, separate optional work, and state the assumptions and exclusions that protect the price.

Tell us what the prompt needs to know
Start with the questions below. Each answer personalizes the playbook and builds the prompt you’ll use at the end.
Your situation
Describe the property, charger model, charger output, circuit requested, mounting location, who supplies the charger, and any customer deadlines or special requests.
0/10000
List the service rating, panel rating, main breaker size, open breaker spaces, load calculation status, route length, wiring method, mounting surface, access limits, trenching, wall openings, and visible obstacles.
0/10000
Enter known permit, inspection, utility, adopted code, disconnect, labeling, load-management, or equipment requirements. Mark anything not confirmed as unknown.
0/10000
Enter labor rates, expected crew, supplier costs, material markup, overhead method, tax treatment, permit allowance, contingency, and any minimum service charge.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Gather the nameplate information from the charger, panel photos, service rating, route length, and your normal labor rate before running the prompt. If a fact isn’t known, write “unknown” instead of guessing.
Advanced instructions
Include crew composition, labor units, supplier costs, markup rules, overhead recovery, permit allowances, trench production rates, and separate mobilization charges. Compare the result against your own load calculation and locally adopted code before issuing a quote.
