Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the heart of the Riverina region, Blighty is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While our tight-knit community of 2,327 residents might seem small, green ambitions loom large. Between 2021 and 2023, registered electric vehicles here jumped from 9 to 20 – a 122% surge, with plug-in hybrids leading the charge. For locals cruising our sun-drenched streets (where solar radiation averages 5 kW/m²/day), sustainable driving isn’t just possible – it’s becoming a way of life.
Public charging infrastructure in Blighty itself remains limited, encouraging most EV owners to focus on home-based solutions. While nearby towns may offer options, the current data suggests planning around local charging is wise. This reality makes personal charging setups particularly valuable, especially when paired with Blighty’s solar potential.
Most modern EVs popular in our area – like the zippy Kia EV6 (528km range) or efficient MINI Countryman BEV (422km range) – use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors. These have become the Australian standard, ensuring compatibility with major networks like Chargefox and Evie should you venture beyond town. The Lexus NX PHEV and Porsche Panamera PHEV favoured by local drivers also support Type 2 charging, making home installations versatile.
Here’s where Blighty shines – literally. Our 5 kW/m²/day solar radiation means a typical 6.6kW rooftop system can generate 26-30kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Kia EV6’s 77.4kWh battery every three days. Even the energy-hungry Porsche Panamera PHEV (19.5kWh/100km) could run 130km weekly on pure sunshine. For most locals, this translates to slashing fuel costs by 60-80% while reducing grid dependence.
Considering Blighty’s limited public stations, smart home charging becomes essential. Solar-backed systems future-proof your setup as more BEVs arrive in regional NSW. Pairing a 7kW wall charger with panels creates a personal fuel station that’s kinder to both your wallet and the Murray River environment.
Ready to harness Blighty’s sunshine for your drives? Local solar installers can design systems tailored to your EV’s needs – whether you’re charging a modest hybrid or a long-range electric workhorse.
