While Fisher itself has limited public charging infrastructure, the surrounding Canberra region offers multiple options within a 20km radius. Popular charging hubs include the Canberra Airport precinct with 50kW DC fast chargers, Westfield Woden shopping centre’s 22kW Type 2 stations, and the ActewAGL charging park in Fyshwick featuring 350kW ultra-rapid units. These locations combine charging with amenities like cafés and free WiFi, making them practical stops during errands or day trips.
Three major networks dominate the local charging landscape:
- Chargefox: Australia’s largest network, offering renewable-powered ultra-rapid CCS2 chargers
- Evie Networks: 150kW stations compatible with CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors
- Tesla Superchargers: Exclusive to Tesla vehicles at the Majura Park location
Most modern EVs in Fisher use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors. The popular Subaru Solterra (485km range) and Renault Megane E-Tech (454km range) both charge via CCS2, achieving 80% battery in 30-35 minutes at rapid stations. Plug-in hybrids like the MINI Countryman PHEV typically use Type 2 connectors.
