Charging an older Holland Park West home
Holland Park West grew in the 1940s and 1950s, and its streets are full of post-war timber homes, many raised on stumps with a carport or garage beneath. Some have been extended or rebuilt, but many keep their original layout. On a raised house, the board is often in the upstairs hall or on the front verandah, with the car parked below. A cable drop through the floor to a wallbox on a stump is usually neat and short.
The age of the wiring sets most of the price. If the board still has ceramic fuses or no safety switch on the power circuits, it needs upgrading before a charger is added. If it was replaced in a renovation, adding a charger circuit is normally simple.
Some lots are narrow, with driveways squeezed along one side. We place the charger so the cable reaches the car without crossing a walkway.
Motorway, busway and Holland Park West
The Pacific Motorway and the South East Busway run along the western side of the suburb, with Holland Park West busway station close by. A lot of residents bus into the city and drive only on weekends, which makes home charging easy to manage on a small budget.
Others drive the motorway to work each day, and a dedicated 7kW wallbox suits them. Either way, charging overnight on an off-peak plan keeps running costs low.
Some homes here are rented. Tenants need the owner's written consent first, and we can provide a short scope of works for that. Owners can see our home charging page for the full process. It covers each step from quote to commissioning.

Keeping your Holland Park West install affordable
- Send clear photos of the switchboard and charger spot, so we can quote without a site visit.
- Choose a 7kW single-phase charger. It suits almost every household and avoids three-phase costs.
- If a second EV is coming, size the cable for it now rather than paying for a second callout later.
- Already have a charger from the dealer? We install it, so you only pay for installation.

Common questions in Holland Park West
I mostly catch the bus from Holland Park West. Do I need a wallbox at all?
Maybe not straight away. If your car only covers weekend trips, the portable cable that came with it, plugged into a suitable outlet, may be enough. A wallbox is faster, safer for regular long sessions and lets you schedule cheaper overnight charging. We can tell you honestly which suits your driving, and install either a dedicated outlet or a charger.
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Holland Park West?
A standard single-phase install in Holland Park West is from $990 inc GST with Connex Electrical, plus the charger unless you already have one. Long cable runs, switchboard upgrades and three-phase chargers cost extra and are quoted in writing first. Most installs take 2 to 4 hours.
What is the most affordable way to install an EV charger in Holland Park West?
Put the charger close to the switchboard, choose a 7kW single-phase unit and send photos so we can quote without a visit. If you already have a charger, you only pay for installation, at the standard $990 inc GST. Every quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can I just charge from a normal power point?
You can, but it is slow. A standard 10A power point with the portable cable that came with the car adds roughly 10 to 15 km of range per hour, which may suit a short commute. A dedicated wallbox is several times faster, safer for long daily sessions and lets you schedule charging for cheaper tariff periods.
Will my switchboard cope with an EV charger?
Usually yes, but older boards are the most common reason a quote goes up. A charger needs its own circuit with RCD protection and enough spare capacity in your supply. Boards with ceramic fuses, no room for new devices or no safety switches generally need an upgrade first. We check the board on the site visit or from photos and tell you before you commit.
I am renting. Can I still get a charger installed?
Yes, with your landlord or agent agreeing in writing first. A wallbox is a fixed electrical installation, so the owner must approve it. Many landlords say yes because it adds value to the property. We can give you a quote and a short scope of works to send to your property manager.
