I didn't have to go through that, but that was in 2010. I was on domestic TOU with Net Metering, and I just made the call when I got my LEAF and they changed me to EV TOU without a problem. But that was then. I was early in the curve, and they may have changed policies now, with the concern that multiple neighbors may have EVs.
Had you notified them earlier that you were getting an EV? They want to know who is getting one so that they can scope out your neighborhood and see if their transformers will get overloaded if too many EVs try to charge at the same time.

Called SCE yesterday to switch from domestic TOU to EV TOU and they would not make the change. They require a site planner to inspect things first. So now a planner is supposed to call within the next 5 days to set an appt. I told them the planner will have to inspect without me during weekdays. Anybody else have to go through this?
