EV Charger Installation Cost in Victoria (VIC)
A 7kW home charger installed in Victoria runs $1,200 to $3,000, and up to $4,500 if your switchboard needs upgrading first.
What it costs to charge in VIC
The install is one-off. This is the number that decides whether the charger pays for itself, and it depends on your state's electricity rates. Victoria off-peak sits at about 16c/kWh.
$2.56
per 100km charging overnight at VIC off-peak (16c/kWh)
$4.48
per 100km on the VIC peak rate (28c/kWh)
$15.36
per 100km for petrol at $1.85/L (ACCC national average)
Charging off-peak in Victoria is about 83% cheaper per kilometre than petrol, a saving of roughly $12.80 per 100km. A timer on the charger is what captures it, which is why the install matters more than the charger brand. Based on 16kWh/100km and 8.3L/100km petrol.
Why VIC quotes vary
The charger is the predictable part. What moves an EV quote is the switchboard, the cable run from the board to the garage, and whether the property needs a load-management device.
