Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in sun-drenched New South Wales, Kerrigundi (population 3,085) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While only 14 electric vehicles called this suburb home in 2023, that’s a 133% increase from 2021 figures – clear proof that locals are switching on to cleaner transport. With an average solar radiation of 5.47 kW/m²/day (equivalent to 19.70 MJ/m²/day), this eco-minded community is perfectly positioned to harness renewable energy for EV charging.
Public EV Charging Stations Kerrigundi itself currently lacks public charging stations, meaning residents and visitors need to plan strategically. Most charging happens at home, though drivers can find networks like Chargefox and Evie in larger regional centres. When exploring beyond our suburb, popular models like the Polestar 2 (625km range) with its CCS2 connector will find compatibility at most fast-charging stations. The Mercedes-Benz EQB (564km range) similarly uses CCS2, while older EVs might require CHAdeMO adapters.
Powering Up With Sunshine Here’s where Kerrigundi shines: solar-powered home charging. Our abundant sunshine translates to serious savings. A typical 6.6kW solar system generates about 26kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Peugeot Partner BEV (258km range) while powering household needs. Even energy-intensive models like the Jaguar I-Pace (23kWh/100km) become economical when fuelled by solar. For context:
- Charging a Mercedes EQB (14.7kWh/100km) for 50km daily driving uses 7.35kWh
- This costs $2.65 from the grid vs $0.88 with solar (using NSW average rates)
Local Solar Solutions Smart charging habits maximise these benefits:
- Time charging for midday sun peaks
- Use smart chargers that prioritise solar excess
- Consider battery storage for night-time top-ups
Looking Ahead While public infrastructure develops, Kerrigundi’s EV owners lead the charge with home solutions. The suburb’s 1,826 houses have prime rooftops for solar integration – particularly beneficial given our long-range favourites like the Polestar 2 that require 67kWh for a full charge.
