Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in New South Wales’ scenic Northern Tablelands, Bonshaw (population 825) is embracing sustainable transport trends alongside Australia’s electric vehicle revolution. While official data shows no registered EVs in 2021-2023, the suburb’s abundant sunshine – averaging 19 MJ/m²/day (equivalent to 5.28 kWh/m²/day) – positions it perfectly for eco-conscious drivers ready to make the switch. With 370 vehicles currently registered, there’s growing potential for EV adoption in this solar-rich community.
For now, Bonshaw itself doesn’t host public charging stations, but regional centres within a 20km radius offer essential infrastructure. Neighbouring towns typically feature charging hubs at strategic locations like shopping precincts, rest stops, and service centres. Major networks including Chargefox, Evie Networks, and Tesla Superchargers operate across regional NSW, ensuring compatibility with popular models like the zippy Fiat 500e (311km range) or family-friendly Hyundai Kona Electric.
Most modern EVs use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors – the standard for Australian models. The Peugeot Partner BEV (258km range) and luxury Lexus RZ (470km range) both use CCS2, while the Land Rover Discovery Sport PHEV employs Type 2. Always check your vehicle’s compatibility before travelling.
Bonshaw’s solar potential makes home charging particularly attractive. With 5.28 kWh/m²/day irradiation, a 6kW solar system could fully charge a Fiat 500e’s 42kWh battery in 7 sunny hours – enough for its 311km range. Pairing solar panels with a home charger (7kW units typically cost $1,500-$3,000 installed) slashes charging costs. The Hyundai Kona’s 14.7kWh/100km consumption means 1,000km of free driving monthly from solar energy alone.
As Bonshaw prepares for its electric future, residents have a unique opportunity to lead the charge. Installing solar-powered home charging now future-proofs your transport needs while capitalising on Australia’s renewable energy incentives. Local solar installers can design systems that power both homes and vehicles – a smart investment as more Australians embrace EVs (national sales jumped 161% in 2023).
