About Melbourne EV Charger Installation

Melbourne EV Charger Installation is a website for Melbourne homeowners who want a charger fitted at home and want to understand the job before they book it. It doesn't install chargers itself. The installation work is done by licensed and insured local contractors. Use the guides here to work out which kind of charger setup suits your home, then request a quote when you're ready.

Who this site is for

This site is for drivers across Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs who have bought an electric vehicle, or are about to, and want a charger at home. Some have a garage in a period home in Hawthorn. Others have a new build in Point Cook or a carport down on the Mornington Peninsula. Some live in an apartment with shared parking.

Each of those homes raises different questions. Is the switchboard big enough? Does the property have single-phase or three-phase power? Where can the cable run? Can the charger work with rooftop solar?

How the site helps

The pages here cover those questions in plain language so you know what you're comparing before you talk to anyone. You can start with the services to see the common jobs, from a standard wall charger to a switchboard upgrade or a site assessment. You can also check the areas page for what to look out for in different parts of Melbourne.

Guidance based on Victorian requirements

Where the site talks about safety paperwork or consumer protections, it relies on guidance published by Energy Safe Victoria and Consumer Affairs Victoria. One example: when a charger installation is finished, the electrical contractor who did it has to issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety and give you a copy. Some work also needs an independent inspection before it can be switched on. Knowing this ahead of time helps you ask the right questions.

Are you the electrician?

No. This website doesn't carry out electrical work and holds no trade licence of its own. Chargers are installed by licensed and insured local contractors, and they're responsible for the wiring, the testing and the safety certificate for your job.

Before you get in touch

Check a few things first so any quote fits your property. Find out whether your home has single-phase or three-phase supply. Note the make and model of your vehicle and charger, if you've chosen one. Think about where you park and how far that spot is from the switchboard. When you have those answers, you can use the contact page to request a quote, and a licensed and insured local contractor can follow up.
