Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the picturesque countryside of NSW, Dabee (population 1,463) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While our community remains small, EV adoption has surged by 160% since 2021 – jumping from just 5 registered plug-in vehicles to 13 in 2023. This growth reflects both our rural charm and growing environmental awareness, with many residents keen to pair clean transport with Dabee’s abundant sunshine.
Public Charging Options Within a 20km radius of Dabee, you’ll find two public charging stations keeping local EV owners connected:
- Dabee Visitor Centre Charger (CCS2/Type 2) Perfect for topping up while exploring our region’s natural attractions. The 50kW DC charger can add 150km of range per hour to compatible models like the Audi e-tron GT or CUPRA Born.
- Rylstone Community Hub Charger (Type 2/CHAdeMO) Located 18km west in neighbouring Rylstone, this 22kW AC charger suits plug-in hybrids like the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV. Pair your charge with a coffee at the adjacent café.
Charging Compatibility Both stations support CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors – the Australian standard for most new EVs. This covers popular models like the CUPRA Born (511km range) and luxury options like the Bentley Bentayga PHEV. CHAdeMO compatibility remains available for older Nissan Leaf models.
Solar Charging: Dabee’s Secret Weapon With 17.5MJ/m²/day solar irradiation (equivalent to 4.86kW/m²/day), Dabee’s climate is ideal for solar-powered charging. A typical 5kW home solar system can:
- Fully charge a CUPRA Born’s 58kWh battery in 2 sunny days
- Cover 40km of daily driving (6.8kWh) using just 20% of its output
- Save $750+/year compared to grid charging at 30c/kWh Many residents offset 100% of their driving costs through solar, particularly those with plug-in hybrids like the CUPRA Leon PHEV that require just 11.3kWh/100km.
Powering Forward While public chargers provide essential support, most Dabee EV owners prioritise home charging. Combining a 7kW Type 2 home charger (suitable for all local EV models) with solar panels creates a self-sufficient ecosystem. Government rebates like the NSW Electric Vehicle Charger Grant can cover up to 50% of installation costs.
