While Tantonan itself is expanding its public charging infrastructure, nearby options within a 20km radius cater to local needs. The Riverside Shopping Complex (12km west) features dual-port Chargefox stations with 150kW CCS2 chargers – perfect for topping up your Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV (606km range) while grabbing groceries. Health-conscious drivers appreciate the Lorne Valley Hospital precinct (18km south), where Jolt Charging’s free 7kW Type 2 chargers let you power up your Lexus NX PHEV during medical appointments. For weekend adventures, the Mount Taree Lookout (15km north) offers 50kW Evie Networks chargers compatible with popular models like the Mazda MX-30 BEV.
Three major networks service our region:
- Chargefox: Ultra-rapid 350kW CCS2 (Mercedes EQE, BMW iX3)
- Evie Networks: 50-150kW CCS2/Type 2 (Mazda MX-30, Hyundai Ioniq 5)
- Jolt Charging: 7-22kW Type 2 (Plug-in hybrids like Alfa Romeo Tonale)
Most stations use CCS2 and Type 2 connectors, covering 95% of local EVs. CHAdeMO adapters remain available for older models. Pro tip: The BMW 3 Series PHEV’s 57km electric range covers most local trips – charge fully in 4 hours at public Type 2 stations.
