Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the Southern Highlands, Corang is quietly becoming a hub for electric vehicle (EV) adoption. With 33 EVs registered in 2023 – up from just 20 in 2021 – this eco-minded community has seen a 65% surge in electric mobility over three years. As locals embrace sustainable transport against a backdrop of clean country air and abundant sunshine, understanding charging options has never been more important.
While Corang itself doesn’t host public EV charging stations, nearby towns within a 20km radius offer accessible options. The Goulburn CBD features a Chargefox ultra-rapid charger (75kW) compatible with CCS2-equipped vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Volvo XC40 BEV. For those running errands, Highlands Marketplace shopping centre offers 22kW Type 2 chargers – perfect for topping up your BMW iX2 while you shop. The Goulburn Base Hospital also provides 7kW AC charging, ideal for visitors needing longer-duration charging.
Three major networks dominate the region:
- Chargefox: CCS2 connectors (50-350kW)
- Evie Networks: CCS2/Type 2 (50-350kW)
- Jolt: CCS2 (25kW free sessions)
Most local EVs use CCS2 (Tesla Model 3, Fiat 500e) or Type 2 (CUPRA Leon PHEV) connectors. CHAdeMO compatibility exists but is less common – Nissan Leaf owners should verify station capabilities before visiting.
Corang’s solar potential makes home charging particularly attractive. With 15.90MJ/m²/day solar radiation (4.42kW/m²/day), a typical 6.6kW rooftop system generates 26kWh daily – enough to power a Tesla Model 3 for 197km*. At current electricity prices, this saves $1,100+ annually compared to grid charging. Pairing solar with a 7kW wall charger (fully charges most EVs overnight) creates a self-sufficient ecosystem – particularly valuable given Corang’s limited public infrastructure.
For context:
- A Fiat 500e needs just 35 minutes (0-80%) at an 85kW charger
- The Volvo XC40 BEV achieves 435km range from a 27-minute charge
- Solar-generated charging slashes the BMW iX2’s running costs by 75%
As Corang’s EV community grows, smart charging solutions become crucial. If you’re among the 2,265 households considering an electric vehicle home charger, integrating solar panels could transform your transport costs. Local solar installers can design systems that offset both household and vehicle energy use – a practical step towards energy independence in our sun-drenched region.
