Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the Mid North Coast’s lush hinterland, Comboyne is embracing Australia’s electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This tight-knit, eco-conscious community – home to 8,976 residents – has seen registered EVs surge by 104% since 2021, climbing from 23 to 47 vehicles by 2023. With sunny days averaging 16.4 MJ/m² of solar radiation (equivalent to 4.55 kWh/m²/day), it’s no wonder locals are pairing their EVs with renewable energy solutions.
While Comboyne itself currently lacks public EV charging stations, nearby towns within a 20km radius offer accessible options. Popular charging hubs include:
- Port Macquarie Base Hospital (40km east): A strategic stop for visitors, offering Type 2 connectors
- Wauchope Marketplace (35km northeast): Features fast-charging CCS2 ports ideal for quick top-ups while shopping
- Taree Central (50km south): A Chargefox station with 350kW ultra-rapid charging compatible with long-range models like the Kia EV9
Major charging networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate the region, supporting CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – the standard for most Australian EVs. Comboyne’s popular models like the Polestar 2 (625km range) and Kia EV9 (443km range) use CCS2, while plug-in hybrids like the Audi Q5 PHEV typically use Type 2. CHAdeMO ports remain rare, mainly servicing older Nissan Leaf models.
For Comboyne residents, solar-powered home charging offers both convenience and savings. The area’s strong solar potential means a typical 6.6kW system can generate 29kWh daily – enough to fully charge a mid-sized EV like the BMW i4 while powering household needs. At 19.5kWh/100km consumption rates (Kia EV9), solar-charged driving costs plummet to about 3¢/km compared to 15¢/km for grid power.
Considering Comboyne’s limited public infrastructure, home charging shines as the practical choice. Pairing a 7kW wallbox with solar panels creates a future-proof setup – the Polestar 2 charges from 10-80% in just 34 minutes using public fast chargers, but overnight solar charging ensures you always leave home with a ‘full tank’ of sunshine.
