We're working with commercial partners to provide public electric vehicle (EV) chargers across Stonnington - making it easier to charge your EV while you're shopping, working or visiting local destinations.
Improving access to public EV charging is an action in our Transport Strategy 2040, which supports more sustainable ways for our community to travel around our city.
Time restrictions and fees
Please look for the signs near your charging station for instructions, time limits and costs.

Pole-mounted electric vehicle charging trial
From early January 2027, we're trialling pole-mounted EV chargers across South Yarra and Armadale.
With more people considering or making the switch to EVs, the trial aims to provide more options for those who can't install a charger at home or don't have access to off-street parking.
The pilot chargers will be installed at the following locations as part of a two-year trial:
- Beatty Avenue, Armadale
- Northcote Road, Armadale
- Portland Place, South Yarra
- Darling Street, South Yarra
- Powell Street, South Yarra
About the chargers
How the power is generated
Our EV chargers connect to the Victorian electricity grid, with CitiPower responsible for distributing electricity in the local area.
In 2024–25, 42.4% of Victoria's electricity generation came from renewable sources, with targets to reach 95% by 2035.
Who manages the chargers
We provide the locations for the trial but don't own, operate or maintain the chargers.
EVX, the charger provider, manages these responsibilities and drivers pay a fee to the charging manufacturer to charge their vehicles.
Community consultation
We consulted the community in 2023 to understand EV ownership and the need for on-street charging. In 2025, we proposed locations for pole-mounted EV chargers across Stonnington and invited nearby residents to share their feedback on the proposals.

How it works
Find an available charger
Use the charger operator's app or PlugShare to:
- find a nearby charger
- view its availability
- locate the designated parking bay.
Connect and start charging
Bring your own compatible cable to connect your vehicle to the charger. Use the operator's app to start charging.
Keep the footpath clear of cables and follow the parking restrictions.
Finish charging and move your vehicle
Stop your charging session in the app and disconnect the cable when you're ready to leave.
