Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in sun-drenched New South Wales, Kangaroo Creek is embracing electric vehicles faster than a kangaroo on open plains. With 318 electric vehicles registered in 2023 – an 83% jump from 2021’s 174 EVs – our eco-conscious community is driving the clean energy transition. Whether you’re a local or visitor, here’s your complete guide to keeping your EV powered in our leafy suburb.
Power Up Around Town Three convenient public charging stations serve Kangaroo Creek and its surrounds. The Kangaroo Creek Central Shopping Centre offers dual CCS2/Type 2 chargers – perfect for a top-up while grabbing groceries. Nature lovers can charge at the Valley Lookout tourist park (CHAdeMO/CCS2), where you’ll juice up alongside panoramic views. For faster options, Riverside Hospital’s 150kW DC charger gets the Subaru Solterra to 80% in 30 minutes. All stations are accessible 24/7, with clear signage from main roads.
Connecting to the Right Network Local charging spots use universal CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors, compatible with most electric cars in Australia. The Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV and Jeep Compass PHEV thrive on Type 2, while the long-range Subaru Solterra prefers CCS2 for rapid charging. Chargefox and Evie Networks handle most local infrastructure, though Tesla owners will find Superchargers 18km north in neighbouring Banyula.
Harness the Aussie Sun With 17.6 MJ/m²/day solar radiation (about 4.9 kWh/m²/day), Kangaroo Creek households can turn rooftops into fuel stations. A 5kW solar system generates ~24kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Jeep Compass PHEV twice over, saving $700+ annually versus grid power. Local favourite the Subaru Solterra costs just $4.70 per 485km charge using solar, versus $24 on standard electricity.
Smart Charging for Smart Drivers Most locals charge overnight using wallboxes (7kW units fully recharge a PHEV in 2 hours). Solar users optimise savings by scheduling charges during peak sunlight. Electrician Mick Thompson, who’s installed 17 home systems this year, advises: ‘Pair your EV charger with a 10kWh battery – you’ll drive on sunshine even after dark.’
Ready to join Kangaroo Creek’s electric revolution? Local solar installers can design systems that power both your home and EV. With our abundant sunshine and growing charging network, there’s never been a better time to go electric. Why pay for petrol when your next road trip could be powered by the Aussie sun?
