Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your complete guide to staying charged.
Public Charging Made Simple Eight public electric vehicle charging stations operate within a 20km radius of Tiona, blending convenience with accessibility. The Tiona Surf Life Saving Club hosts a 50kW DC fast charger – perfect for topping up while enjoying beach views. Meanwhile, Forster Town Centre’s dual-port station (CCS2/Type 2) lets shoppers replenish their Genesis G80 BEV’s 520km range in just 22 minutes using its 350kW capability. For those needing charge near essential services, Manning Base Hospital offers reliable AC charging alongside disability parking access.
Network Compatibility Simplified Major providers like Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate the region’s charging infrastructure. Tesla owners can utilise Superchargers in nearby Tuncurry, while Jolt’s free 7kWh daily offers appeal to budget-conscious drivers. Connector types reflect Australia’s standards:
- CCS2: Used by the LDV Mifa9 (120kW charging) and Genesis G80
- Type 2 (Mennekes): Fits the MINI Countryman BEV and CUPRA Formentor PHEV
- CHAdeMO: Available at select stations for older models
Solar Charging: Powering EVs Tiona’s Way With typical solar systems generating 22-30kWh daily locally, most EVs can cover 100-150km purely from sunshine. Take the MINI Countryman BEV: its 17.2kWh/100km consumption means a 5kW solar array could fully charge its 422km battery in two sunny days. For hybrid drivers like Land Rover Defender PHEV owners, solar often covers the entire 52km electric range before switching to fuel.
Future-Proof Your Drive As Tiona’s EV community grows, pairing home chargers with solar makes increasing sense. A 7kW wallbox installed with a 6.6kW solar system typically pays for itself within 4-6 years through fuel savings. Local installers can design solutions matching your EV’s needs – whether rapid-charging an LDV Mifa9 or trickle-charging a plug-in hybrid overnight.
