Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the heart of regional New South Wales, Camboon (population 1,463) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While our community remains small, EV adoption has grown remarkably – from just 5 plug-in hybrid registrations in 2021 to 13 in 2023, a 160% increase. With abundant sunshine averaging 17.5 MJ/m²/day (about 4.86 kW/m²/day) and an eco-conscious spirit, Camboon offers unique opportunities for EV owners to charge sustainably.
Public Charging Options Within a 20km radius of Camboon, you'll find two public electric vehicle charging stations perfect for top-ups during day trips:
- Camboon Village Shopping Centre – A Type 2 charger ideal for plug-in hybrids like the popular BMW X5 PHEV and Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV. Charge while shopping at the local IGA.
- Lake Camboon Reserve – Features a CCS2/Type 2 dual-port charger near picnic areas, suitable for faster-charging vehicles like the LDV eT60 ute (45-minute charge from 20-80%). Both stations welcome visitors and residents, though we recommend checking availability before longer journeys.
Charging Compatibility Camboon’s infrastructure supports:
- CCS2: Used by the LDV eT60 and upcoming battery EVs
- Type 2 (Mennekes): Standard for European PHEVs like the Mercedes-Benz EQS
- CHAdeMO: Available at Lake Camboon for compatibility with older models Major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks maintain these stations, accepting contactless payments.
Solar Charging: Camboon’s Hidden Advantage With solar radiation equivalent to 4.86 kW/m²/day, Camboon households can significantly offset charging costs. A typical 5kW solar system here generates about 24kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Volkswagen Touareg PHEV (51km range) twice over. For the average local driving needs (most residents travel under 50km/day), solar can eliminate public charging reliance entirely.
Practical Tips for Home Charging
- Time charging with daylight hours to maximise solar use
- Size your system appropriately – the Mercedes-Benz EQS’s 23kWh/100km consumption needs about 7kW solar capacity for daily 40km commutes
- Consider battery storage to extend solar charging into evening hours
Looking Ahead While Camboon’s 640-vehicle fleet still runs predominantly on petrol, the surge in PHEV registrations suggests growing interest in electrification. Local infrastructure is future-proofed for battery EVs, with CCS2 chargers ready for models like the upcoming Ford F-150 Lightning.
Power Your Drive With Sunshine If you’re among Camboon’s growing cohort of EV owners, pairing your electric vehicle home charger with solar panels could save $600-$1,200 annually in fuel costs. Local solar installers can design systems tailored to your EV’s consumption – whether you’re charging an efficient LDV eT60 or a luxury Mercedes-Benz EQS. Ready to harness our abundant sunshine?
