This tight-knit community, known for its lush landscapes and eco-conscious mindset, has seen a remarkable 83% surge in EV registrations since 2021 – jumping from 174 plug-in hybrids to 318 electric vehicles by 2023. With solar-rich conditions averaging 4.97 kW/m²/day (converted from 17.90 MJ/m²/day), locals are perfectly positioned to combine clean energy with cutting-edge transport.
For those exploring public charging options, three convenient stations sit within a 20km radius. The Brushgrove Riverside Shopping Centre hosts a 50kW DC fast charger (CCS2/Type 2), ideal for topping up your Hyundai Ioniq 5 while grabbing groceries. History buffs can charge at the Iluka World Heritage Rainforest Visitor Centre’s 22kW AC station, turning a 90-minute charging session into an educational stroll. The Maclean District Hospital’s 11kW Type 2 charger offers peace of mind for visitors, delivering about 40km of range per hour.
These stations operate through networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks, supporting the CCS2 and Type 2 connectors used by most Australian EVs.
