The details electricians need to price a safe, compliant charger install.

Know the EV model, plug type and whether you want basic, smart, Tesla or solar-aware charging.
Switchboard position
The distance from your switchboard to the charger location is one of the biggest labour drivers.

Your electricity network
Connecting a charger in South Yarra: know your network
Melbourne is served by 3 electricity distributors depending on where you are - your electrician confirms which one covers your street before lodging any network paperwork.
CitiPower
CitiPower covers Melbourne's CBD and inner suburbs and uses the shared CitiPower-Powercor-United Energy connection process: the installing electrician applies for network approval where a charger exceeds the network's size threshold. Inner-city homes are often single phase with limited spare capacity, so a supply check is essential before a 7kW install. Victoria's universal smart meters make EV time-of-use retail plans widely available.
CitiPower connection info →United Energy
United Energy covers Melbourne's south-east and the Mornington Peninsula and shares its connection process with CitiPower and Powercor, with the electrician applying for approval where a charger exceeds the network's size threshold. A supply capacity check is standard before a 7kW single-phase install, and Victoria's smart meter fleet makes EV time-of-use retail plans widely available.
United Energy connection info →Jemena
Jemena serves Melbourne's north-west and requires the installing electrician to lodge an application where the charger exceeds the network's size threshold. Jemena supports off-peak charging through Victoria's smart meter fleet and retailer EV plans. Single-phase homes typically handle a 7kW charger subject to a capacity check.
