Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in New South Wales’ sun-drenched landscape, Burbong has quietly become a hub for electric vehicle enthusiasts. With 873 EVs registered in 2023 – more than double 2021’s figures – this eco-conscious community is embracing cleaner transport. Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your complete guide to staying charged.
Burbong’s 30 public charging stations within a 20km radius make range anxiety a relic of the past. The Burbong Central Shopping Centre’s ultra-rapid 150kW chargers can juice up a BMW 5 Series BEV (550km range) in under 30 minutes while you shop. Nature lovers appreciate Riverside Park’s dual-port 50kW stations, perfect for topping up during riverside picnics. For those needing a charge while caring for others, Burbong Community Hospital offers free Type 2 charging – a thoughtful touch in our health-conscious suburb.
Three major networks keep Burbong powered: Chargefox’s renewable-energy stations, Evie Networks’ expanding grid, and Tesla Superchargers (now CCS2-compatible). Most local EVs like the popular BYD Seal (510km range) and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV (606km range) use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors. While CHAdeMO ports exist for older models, newer installations focus on Australia’s emerging CCS2 standard.
Here’s where Burbong truly shines: our average 17.10 MJ/m²/day solar radiation converts to 4.75 kWh/m²/day – enough to power an EV twice over. A typical 6.6kW solar system generates 26kWh daily, sufficient for 188km in a BYD Seal. That’s three days’ worth of commuting for the average Australian driver. Pairing solar with off-peak charging slashes running costs to about 3¢/km – 85% cheaper than petrol equivalents.
Considering a home charger? Local sparkies can install a 7kW wallbox that fully charges a Lexus RZ (470km range) overnight. When combined with solar, you’ll essentially drive on sunshine. Our community’s 18,000+ homes prove rooftop PV and EVs are a perfect match – imagine charging your Cupra Formentor PHEV (58km electric range) for school runs using nothing but dawn light.
Ready to join Burbong’s electric revolution? Start by exploring how solar can power your commute. With abundant sunshine and growing infrastructure, there’s never been a better time to switch. Local installers understand our unique needs – from maximising north-facing rooftops to navigating council regulations. Let’s keep Burbong at the forefront of sustainable transport, one sun-powered kilometre at a time.
