Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled along the shimmering shores of Wallis Lake, Coomba Park is quietly becoming a hub for electric vehicle (EV) adoption. With 217 EVs registered in 2023 – a 121% increase from 2021 – this eco-minded community is embracing sustainable transport. The suburb’s sunny climate, averaging 4.64 kW/m² of daily solar radiation (converted from 16.70 MJ/m²), makes it ideal for renewable energy solutions. Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your complete guide to staying charged.
Coomba Park offers eight public charging stations within a 20km radius, blending convenience with scenic locations. The Coomba Park Shopping Village hosts a 50kW DC fast charger – perfect for topping up your BMW iX2 (427km range) while grabbing groceries. Nature lovers appreciate the Lakeside Tourist Park’s 22kW Type 2 charger, allowing you to add 110km of range to an Audi Q5 PHEV during a lakeside picnic. For faster options, the nearby Forster Town Centre features 350kW ultra-rapid chargers that can boost a BMW i7’s 625km-range battery from 10% to 80% in just 34 minutes.
These stations operate through networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks, supporting CCS2 (common in newer models) and Type 2 connectors. While CHAdeMO ports are available, they’re less frequently used. Popular local models like the Peugeot 408 PHEV ($67,990) and Land Rover Discovery Sport PHEV benefit from Type 2 compatibility, making public charging straightforward.
Solar-powered charging shines in Coomba Park’s sunny climate. A typical 5kW home solar system generates about 23kWh daily – enough to fully charge an Audi Q5 PHEV’s 17.9kWh battery while powering household appliances. With electricity prices rising, solar owners save approximately $700 annually charging mid-sized EVs. Pairing solar panels with battery storage lets residents charge overnight using daytime solar energy, maximising savings.
As EV registrations outpace national averages – growing from 98 to 217 in two years – home charging solutions are becoming essential. Local solar installers can design systems tailored to EV needs, whether you drive a compact plug-in hybrid or luxury electric sedan. Considering the BMW i7’s 22.2kWh/100km consumption, a solar-powered home charger could offset 90% of its energy needs in summer months.
