Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the leafy outskirts of Sydney, Eltham has quietly become a hub for eco-conscious drivers embracing electric vehicles (EVs). With its community-focused ethos and abundant sunshine – averaging 17.6 MJ/m²/day (about 4.88 kWh/m²/day) of solar potential – this suburb is perfectly positioned for Australia’s clean transport revolution. Local registration data tells the story: EV ownership skyrocketed 110% between 2021 and 2023, jumping from 336 to 704 vehicles. Even more telling? Battery-only EVs tripled in the same period, proving Eltham’s drivers are charging ahead towards sustainable transport.\n\nFor those exploring public charging options, Eltham offers convenient access to four stations within a 20km radius. The Eltham Central Shopping District’s 50kW DC charger has become a local favourite, letting drivers top up popular models like the GWM Ora (310km range) while grabbing groceries – perfect for that 41-minute ‘10-80%’ charge window. Nature lovers appreciate the Warrandyte Riverside Park’s 22kW AC charger, where you can add 47km of range to a Jeep Compass PHEV during a riverside picnic.
