Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your practical guide to staying charged.
Jenolan offers two public electric vehicle charging stations within a 20km radius, strategically placed for convenience. The Jenolan Caves Visitor Centre hosts a 50kW DC fast charger compatible with CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors – perfect for topping up your Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Nissan Leaf while exploring this iconic limestone cave system. Meanwhile, Oberon Council Car Park features a 22kW Type 2 charger, ideal for plug-in hybrids like the Volvo XC90 PHEV. Both stations are accessible 24/7, with cafes and amenities nearby.
