With around 996 residents per square kilometre, Donvale homes often have three-phase supply, which opens up faster charging without a supply upgrade. Donvale sits about 22 kilometres out in Manningham. Solar is common here, and pairing the charger with it is where the running cost really falls.
Donvale is in Manningham. A home charger needs no planning permit. What it does need is a dedicated circuit, correct protection, and notification to the distributor for anything above the standard threshold. We handle that. Being next to Blackburn North and Doncaster East means Donvale is almost never a standalone trip for our crew.
By the numbers: 12644 people, roughly 12.7 square kilometres, postcode 3111, inside Manningham. That is Donvale as of the 2021 census. The area we cover around Donvale runs through Blackburn North, Doncaster East, Mitcham and Nunawading, and a booking in any of them is treated the same way.
The run from Boronia to Donvale is about 12.1 kilometres north-west. That is a normal day for us, not a special trip.
