EV Charging in Lilydale

With about 594 people per square kilometre, Lilydale properties often have solar and a battery already, and a charger that talks to them is worth more than a faster one. At roughly 115 metres, Lilydale sits on the rise east of the city. Undercroft garages are common and they make a neat charger position.

Being around 34 kilometres from the city, Lilydale often has two electric vehicles in a household, which is a load management conversation rather than two chargers. Lilydale sits inside Yarra Ranges, and nothing about a home charger requires local approval.

Being next to Chirnside Park and Coldstream means Lilydale is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. The 2021 census recorded 17348 people in Lilydale, an area of roughly 29.2 square kilometres within Yarra Ranges, postcode 3140.

For what it is worth on the day: It was rebuilt in November 2021 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project, with the railway line being raised above Maroondah Highway. The decade a suburb filled in tells us whether single or three-phase supply is likely. We are across Lilydale along with Chirnside Park, Coldstream, Gruyere and Montrose, on the same rates and the same certificate.

Lilydale is approximately 12.9 kilometres north-east of Boronia. We cross that distance most weeks, so there is no premium for it on your quote. Because Lilydale railway station sits in Lilydale, the suburb has the older-core, newer-edge pattern common along Melbourne's lines.

Another piece of background on the suburb: Lilydale has segregated bicycle facilities including the start of the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail which follows the course of the Lilydale-Warburton railway line which was built in 1901 but closed in 1964.
