Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in New South Wales’ scenic heartland, Fitzgeralds Valley is embracing electric vehicles (EVs) with open arms. This eco-conscious community, blessed with over 300 sunny days annually, has seen EV registrations leap from just 223 in 2021 to 560 by 2023 – a striking 151% growth. As more locals swap petrol pumps for charging cables, understanding the valley’s charging landscape becomes essential for both residents and visitors.
While Fitzgeralds Valley itself is still developing its public charging network, neighbouring areas within a 20km radius offer practical solutions. The Greenfield Shopping Centre hosts dual-port Chargefox stations (CCS2 and Type 2), perfect for topping up while grabbing groceries. Healthcare visitors appreciate Valley View Hospital’s 22kW Type 2 chargers, delivering about 40km of range per hour. For faster options, the Fitzgerald Valley Lookout features Evie Networks’ 350kW ultra-rapid charger, capable of replenishing an Audi e-tron’s 459km range in under 40 minutes.
Major networks like Chargefox, Evie Networks, and Tesla Superchargers dominate the region. Compatibility is straightforward – CCS2 connectors suit modern EVs like the Audi e-tron and Lexus RZ, while Type 2 (Mennekes) ports cater to plug-in hybrids such as the CUPRA Leon PHEV. Though CHAdeMO ports exist, their limited availability makes CCS2 the preferred choice for most drivers.
The real charging revolution, however, happens in local driveways. Fitzgeralds Valley’s exceptional solar radiation – converting to 4.61kW/m²/day – makes sun-powered EV charging remarkably effective. A typical 6.6kW solar system generates about 26kWh daily, enough to power an Audi e-tron for 112km or a Lexus RZ for 170km. With NSW’s solar rebates and feed-in tariffs, many residents slash their charging costs by 60-80% compared to public stations.
For those considering the switch, pairing a home charger with solar panels proves both eco-friendly and economical. Local installers often recommend 7kW wallboxes that fully charge a CUPRA Formentor PHEV in 3-4 hours using surplus solar energy.
