Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled along the sun-drenched South Coast, Kioloa is embracing Australia’s electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This eco-conscious community, blessed with clean coastal air and 4.39 kW/m²/day of solar irradiation (converted from 15.80 MJ/m²/day), has seen EV registrations leap from 139 in 2021 to 288 in 2023 – a 107% surge! Whether you’re a local or visiting this seaside gem, here’s your complete guide to staying charged.
Public Charging Made Simple Within a 20km radius of Kioloa, two public electric vehicle charging stations keep both residents and travellers moving. The Kioloa Village Shopping Centre station offers CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – perfect for topping up your Kia EV6 (528km range) while grabbing supplies. For beachgoers, the Bawley Point Beach Car Park features a dual-port Chargefox station (CCS2/Type 2), letting you add 300km of range to an Audi e-tron GT in about 23 minutes – just enough time for a coastal stroll.
Charging Networks & Compatibility Local stations primarily use the Chargefox network, compatible with most modern electric cars in Australia. The standard CCS2 connector works seamlessly with popular models like the Subaru Solterra and Kia EV6, while Type 2 (Mennekes) ports support plug-in hybrids like the BMW X5 PHEV. Though CHAdeMO connectors aren’t currently available locally, most Japanese EVs can use adapters at these stations.
Solar Charging: Kioloa’s Secret Weapon With enough sunshine to power 4-5 full EV charges weekly from a 6kW solar system, Kioloa residents are turning rooftops into fuel stations. A typical 10kWh/day solar setup can cover 60km of daily driving in a Kia EV6 (16.5kWh/100km), saving $700+ annually compared to grid charging. Even the Renault Kangoo BEV’s 286km range becomes cheaper than petrol when charged via solar – about $9.60 per ‘tank’ versus $45 for equivalent diesel.
Smart Charging for Coastal Living Local EV owners recommend:
- Timing charges with solar production (10am-3pm)
- Using smart chargers that prioritise solar energy
- Exploring battery storage to extend sun-powered driving into evening hours Many households combine their electric vehicle home charger with existing solar systems, taking advantage of NSW’s 8c/kWh feed-in tariff to offset night charging needs.
Powering Forward As Kioloa’s electric vehicle numbers grow – particularly battery-only models, which jumped from 4 to 37 between 2021-2023 – so does the infrastructure supporting them. Whether you’re charging at the beachside station or considering a solar-powered home setup, this coastal community proves sustainable transport and laidback living go hand-in-hand.
