Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the sun-drenched Riverina region, Mirrool is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. With its tight-knit community of 1,859 residents and abundant sunshine averaging 5.06 kW/m²/day (converted from 18.20 MJ/m²/day), this rural NSW town offers unique opportunities for sustainable transport. While EV adoption remains modest, registrations tell an encouraging story: combined electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles grew from 10 in 2021 to 22 in 2023 – a 120% increase that reflects growing environmental awareness among locals.
For those wondering about public charging stations, Mirrool currently doesn’t host any dedicated EV charging points within a 20km radius. This makes strategic planning essential for longer journeys. Many residents opt to charge while visiting regional hubs like Griffith (85km northwest) or Narrandera (110km southeast), where facilities at shopping centres or community hubs often feature CCS2 and Type 2 connectors compatible with popular models like the Volvo EX30 and BMW iX. The absence of local stations underscores the importance of home charging solutions in this rural setting.
Mirrool’s solar potential shines brightest when powering EVs. A typical 5kW rooftop system here generates about 20kWh daily – enough to fully charge a GWM Ora (16.7kWh/100km) for 120km of driving or provide 156km for the ultra-efficient Lexus UX BEV (12.8kWh/100km). With grid electricity costs averaging $0.28/kWh in regional NSW, solar-charged drivers could save $5-6 daily compared to traditional fuelling methods. For the BMW i7’s 625km range, solar charging could slash $35-$40 off each full charge compared to petrol equivalents.
Most modern EVs in Mirrool use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors, aligning with popular models like the Volvo EX30 and GWM Ora. While CHAdeMO ports remain rare in newer vehicles, they’re still worth noting for visitors with older EVs. When travelling beyond the region, major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks become valuable resources, though locals increasingly rely on home setups.
