Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the heart of regional New South Wales, Cambalong (population 1,693) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. Between 2021 and 2023, EV registrations here grew 143% – from just 7 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to 17. While our tight-knit community still predominantly uses conventional cars (1,775 ICE vehicles in 2023), the rising popularity of models like the Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV and CUPRA Leon PHEV signals a greener shift. With abundant sunshine averaging 4.42 kW/m²/day (converted from 15.90 MJ/m²/day), eco-conscious drivers are perfectly positioned to combine EV ownership with solar power.
Currently, Cambalong itself has no public electric vehicle charging stations within town limits or the surrounding 20km radius. Residents and visitors should plan charging stops in larger nearby regions before arriving. This lack of infrastructure makes home charging solutions particularly valuable – especially given our rural setting.
Most popular local EVs use CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors, compatible with national networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks found in regional hubs. The Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV (52km electric range) and BMW 5 Series PHEV (54km range) both utilise Type 2 ports, while DC fast-charging CCS2 suits drivers planning longer trips beyond our solar-powered community.
Solar charging shines in Cambalong’s climate. A typical 5kW rooftop system generates ~22kWh daily – enough to fully charge a CUPRA Leon PHEV (11.3kWh/100km) for 194km of emission-free driving. For the average local commute, this could eliminate fuel costs entirely. Even energy-intensive models like the Land Rover Defender PHEV (26.1kWh/100km) become economical when paired with solar, slashing charging costs by up to 80% compared to grid electricity.
As Cambalong’s EV adoption accelerates, smart charging solutions are key. Homeowners can maximise savings by timing vehicle charging to solar production peaks using smart chargers. With battery-electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 now appearing locally (3 registered in 2023), future-proofing your setup with 7kW+ chargers makes practical sense.
