Let’s explore how locals and visitors keep their EVs powered.

The Mulgoa MarketPlace Shopping Centre features dual-port CCS2/Type 2 chargers – perfect for grabbing a coffee while your Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV gains 100km range in under 30 minutes.

- Type 2 (Mennekes): Standard for European models like Peugeot 508 PHEV
- CHAdeMO: Less common but available for older Nissan Leaf models
Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate local infrastructure, offering contactless payments through RFID cards or direct app billing. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s 19.2kWh/100km consumption means most drivers spend under $15 weekly on public charging – significantly cheaper than petrol equivalents.
Solar Charging: Mulgoa’s Secret Weapon With 4.44 kW/m² daily solar irradiation (equivalent to 5.2 peak sun hours), Mulgoa homes can generate 26kWh daily from a 5kW system – enough to fully charge a Peugeot 508 PHEV’s 11.8kWh battery twice over. Smart chargers like the Zappi V2 enable solar-only charging, potentially eliminating fuel costs. For the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV’s 90kWh battery, pairing a 10kW solar system with overnight off-peak charging (15c/kWh) slashes charging costs by 70% compared to public DC fast chargers.
