Public EV Charging Stations Currently, Tabulam itself has no public electric vehicle charging stations within a 20km radius. This makes planning essential for longer journeys. Many residents charge at home using standard power points, while those travelling through the region typically use fast-charging hubs in larger nearby centres like Lismore or Casino before arriving.
Charging Compatibility Most Tabulam EV owners drive popular Australian models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (451km range) or Polestar 2 (625km range), which use CCS2 and Type 2 connectors. These standards align with national charging networks like Chargefox and Evie, though drivers should note the nearest compatible stations require strategic trip planning. The Renault Kangoo BEV’s 7kW AC charging capability makes it particularly practical for home setups.
Solar-Powered Charging Advantages With Tabulam’s solar potential equivalent to running a 5kW system for nearly 5 hours daily, residents can dramatically cut charging costs. For example:

- Using solar instead of grid power (at 30c/kWh) saves $805 yearly Many households offset both home and vehicle energy needs through 6-10kW solar systems, often achieving full energy independence in summer months. Government rebates like the NSW Energy Savings Scheme make installations even more accessible.
