The Budden Valley Shopping Centre station offers CCS2 and Type 2 connectors, perfect for topping up while grabbing groceries. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the Waratah Lookout Visitor Centre charger (CCS2/Type 2), located near scenic walking trails. Both stations accommodate popular models like the Tesla Model Y and MG MG4, with charging speeds reaching 80kW for quick pit stops.
Local infrastructure supports major networks including Chargefox and Evie Networks. CCS2 remains the gold standard for newer EVs like the 510km-range Tesla Model Y, while Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors suit mid-range options such as the GWM Ora. Though CHAdeMO ports exist for legacy vehicles, most drivers will find CCS2 meets their needs.

With electricity prices rising, solar-charged driving could save $500+ annually. Many residents combine 5-10kW solar arrays with smart chargers that prioritise solar energy, sometimes even earning credits through feed-in tariffs for excess power.
Considering the jump to electric? Popular local choices like the $39,990 MG MG4 (405km range) demonstrate EVs are becoming more accessible. For plug-in hybrid drivers, the CUPRA Formentor PHEV's 58km electric range handles most daily commutes.
