Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the heart of New South Wales, the quaint suburb of Mallan (population 442) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While only three plug-in hybrid EVs were registered here in 2022 – up from zero the previous year – this marks an exciting shift for the town’s eco-conscious community. With abundant sunshine averaging 5.06 kWh/m²/day (converted from 18.20 MJ/m²/day), Mallan offers ideal conditions for sustainable driving solutions. Let’s explore what this means for current and future EV owners.
Public EV Charging in Mallan As of 2023, Mallan itself doesn’t host any public electric vehicle charging stations within its boundaries or the immediate 20km radius. This makes home charging particularly crucial for local EV owners. For longer journeys, drivers typically plan charging stops in larger regional centres along major routes, using networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks that dominate NSW’s charging infrastructure. The closest Tesla Supercharger sits approximately 85km away in Dubbo, highlighting the importance of strategic trip planning for Mallan residents.
Charger Compatibility & Popular Models Most electric vehicles in Australia, including popular models among Mallan residents like the Kia EV5 (400km range) and Lexus RZ (470km range), use CCS2 connectors for rapid DC charging. The Type 2 (Mennekes) connector remains standard for home and AC public charging, compatible with every plug-in vehicle in the market including the Renault Kangoo BEV and Peugeot 308 PHEV. While CHAdeMO ports exist in some older models, their prevalence continues to decline nationally.
Solar Charging: Mallan’s Sustainable Advantage With solar radiation levels 15% higher than the NSW average, Mallan households can generate about 20kWh daily from a 5kW solar system – enough to fully charge a Peugeot 308 PHEV’s 60km battery range twice over. For context:
- A Renault Kangoo BEV driven 50km daily would use 8.75kWh
- Solar charging could save $650+ annually vs grid power
- Excess solar can offset 75-100% of charging costs
Local solar installers often recommend 6.6kW systems with 5kW inverters for EV owners, providing ample energy for both home and vehicle needs. The Bentley Flying Spur PHEV owner (while rare in Mallan) could still achieve 30km of emissions-free driving daily using just solar power.
Future-Proofing Your Drive For Mallan’s 204 households considering the electric transition, installing a 7kW home charger ($1,200-$2,000) paired with solar panels offers the most practical solution. This setup typically pays for itself within 4-7 years through fuel savings, while future-proofing homes for upcoming EV models.
As Mallan’s EV community grows, combining solar energy with smart charging habits ensures residents stay ahead of the curve. Whether you’re charging a hybrid commuter car or preparing for a fully electric future, harnessing our abundant sunshine makes both environmental and financial sense. Local solar installers can provide tailored solutions to match your driving needs – let’s power your journeys with clean, renewable energy.
