EV chargers in Melbourne
What to know before you get quotes for a home EV charger.
Step 1: Single or three phase
Powercor describes a 7 kW wall charger as a single-phase home charger. A 22 kW charger needs three-phase power, so it doesn't suit every home, and your car's own charging limit also applies.
Step 2: Your supply first
A licensed electrician checks that your home's supply and switchboard can take the charger, and handles any paperwork with your distributor.
Step 3: Vehicle-to-grid (V2G)
Powercor says a vehicle-to-grid charger needs to be on the Clean Energy Council's approved list. It connects like solar or a battery, so your distributor's connection rules also apply.
Step 4: Free midday power
From 1 October 2026, most Victorian retailers must offer the Midday Power Saver: free electricity from 11 am to 2 pm, up to 24 kWh a day, with a smart meter. If your car is home then, charging in that window can cut the cost.
What EV charger installation costs in Melbourne
These are the national ranges the NRMA published in July 2026, as a guide only. Your cable run and switchboard decide the final price, so compare itemised quotes.
Portable cable from a power point
Around $400 to $600 for the cable if your car didn't come with one, and $200 to $1,000 if you need a new dedicated outlet installed.
Single-phase wall charger
$600 to $2,500 for the charger, plus $500 to $1,500 for installation in a typical home.
Learn moreThree-phase wall charger
Around $1,500 to $2,200 for the charger. The bigger cost is the electrical work, especially if your home needs upgrading to three-phase power.
What pushes the price up
A long cable run, switchboard work, or a supply upgrade. See the full cost guide.

Worth asking about in Melbourne
- Older home? Ask each installer whether your switchboard needs work for a charger, and whether that's in the quote.
- In a unit or townhouse? Parking and wall space are often common property, so you'll need your owners corporation's or strata company's approval first.
- Renting? You'll need your landlord's permission before a charger can be installed.
- Charger going in a carport or detached garage? A long cable run from the switchboard usually adds to the cost, so ask for it to be itemised.
- Ask for the electrician's licence number, and a certificate of compliance when the work is done.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can I charge at home in Melbourne?
Most homes are single phase, which suits a charger of about 7 kW. Faster 11 or 22 kW chargers need three-phase power, and many cars accept less than 22 kW on AC, so check your car's limit first.
Do I need approval for a home EV charger in Melbourne?
Your electrician checks your supply and handles any paperwork with your distributor. Vehicle-to-grid chargers connect like solar or a battery, so the distributor's rules apply.
Can I charge my EV from solar in Melbourne?
Yes, with a charger that can follow your spare solar, or by scheduling charging for the middle of the day when your solar is producing.
Can I get a charger in a unit or rental in Melbourne?
Often, yes, with permission first: from the owners corporation or strata company for most units, and from your landlord if you rent.
