Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the heart of regional New South Wales, the small suburb of Mellool (population: 442) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While only three plug-in hybrid EVs were registered here between 2022-2023, this marks an important shift for a community that had zero electric vehicles just two years prior. With its sunny climate averaging 5.03 kW/m²/day of solar radiation – equivalent to about 18.10 MJ/m²/day – Mellool offers unique opportunities for eco-conscious drivers to combine clean energy with electric transport.
While Mellool itself doesn’t currently host public electric vehicle charging stations, residents often access regional infrastructure within a 20km radius. Nearby hubs like shopping centres, medical facilities, and highway rest stops increasingly feature CCS2 and Type 2 chargers – the standard connectors for popular models like the BYD Dolphin (CCS2) and Volvo XC40 (Type 2). The Nissan Leaf’s CHAdeMO compatibility remains less common but still supported at some regional stations.
For Mellool residents, solar-powered home charging presents a game-changing solution. The suburb’s abundant sunshine means a typical 6.6kW solar system can generate enough energy to power an electric vehicle like the Kia EV5 (18.2kWh/100km) for 40km of daily driving – with surplus energy left for household use. Over a year, this could save $800-$1,200 in fuel costs compared to petrol vehicles, while reducing grid dependence.
When installing a home charging station, consider:
- Pairing a 7kW wallbox charger with solar battery storage
- Timing charging sessions for peak solar production hours
- Monitoring energy use through smart charger apps
