Victorian and Federal Programs
• Some past Victorian programs have supported EV charging infrastructure, especially for businesses, apartments and public/commercial sites.
• EV owners may also benefit indirectly through other energy efficiency or solar-related programs, depending on current government offerings.
Because these incentives change, it’s always worth checking:
• Current Victorian Government EV and energy programs
• Local council initiatives in Melbourne
• Any incentives via your energy retailer or network provider
A good EV charger installer in Melbourne, like S&R Electrical Group, should be aware of current schemes and point you in the right direction, even if they don’t handle applications on your behalf.
Tax and Business Considerations
For businesses installing EV chargers, there may be tax deductions or asset write-off opportunities available via your accountant, especially when chargers support company vehicles or staff use.
If you’re a business or commercial property owner, it’s worth discussing:
• Asset write-offs or depreciation
• How the charger will be used (fleet, staff, public, tenants)
Any billing or access control features needed (RFID cards, apps, etc.)
