With around 1147 residents per square kilometre, Tecoma homes often have three-phase supply, which opens up faster charging without a supply upgrade. Sitting near 220 metres in Yarra Ranges, Tecoma gets weather, so an outdoor charger needs a properly rated enclosure and a sealed cable entry rather than a token one.
At roughly 33 kilometres out, Tecoma has newer homes with modern boards and spare capacity, which keeps the job simple. Tecoma is in Yarra Ranges. 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.
We work across Belgrave, Belgrave Heights and Ferny Creek on the same trip, and Tecoma sits in the middle of that loop. Tecoma covers about 1.8 square kilometres of Yarra Ranges. The 2021 census put the population at 2064, and the postcode is 3160.
We are in and out of Tecoma and its neighbours constantly. That run includes Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield. It is around 7.1 kilometres south-east from our Boronia base to Tecoma. Short runs like that are how we keep a fixed price honest instead of building travel into it.
