Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the heart of New South Wales, Running Stream is fast becoming a hub for electric vehicle enthusiasts. With 203 EVs registered in 2023 – a remarkable 145% jump from just 83 in 2021 – this sun-drenched community is embracing sustainable transport. The suburb’s eco-conscious mindset and abundant sunshine (averaging 4.8 kW/m² daily solar radiation) create ideal conditions for EV adoption. Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your complete guide to staying charged.
Running Stream offers convenient access to 12 public charging stations within a 20km radius. The Running Stream Shopping Centre hosts a dual CCS2/Type 2 charger perfect for quick top-ups while grabbing groceries, while the nearby Blue Mountain View Tourist Centre provides CHAdeMO compatibility alongside scenic charging breaks. For those needing faster options, Lithgow Hospital’s 50kW DC charger can replenish a Renault Megane E-Tech’s battery from 15% to 80% in just 35 minutes – ideal for busy schedules.
Major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks service the area, with Tesla Superchargers available 18km west in Wallerawang. Most stations feature CCS2 connectors (used by popular models like the Hyundai Kona BEV) and Type 2 ports favoured by European EVs like the BMW iX3.

This setup could save $700+ annually compared to grid charging, with most systems paying for themselves within 4-6 years. Pairing solar with off-peak charging (ideal for longer sessions with the BMW iX3’s 11kW onboard charger) maximises savings.
