Nestled in the sun-drenched landscapes of regional NSW, Tooranie (population 442) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While the shift is gradual, the numbers speak volumes: in 2021, the town had no registered electric vehicles, but by 2023, three plug-in hybrids were powering local roads. Though small, this 100% year-on-year growth reflects the community’s growing interest in sustainable transport – particularly fitting for a region blessed with 18.20 MJ/m²/day of solar radiation (equivalent to 5.06 kWh/m²/day).
Public EV charging infrastructure remains limited in Tooranie itself, with no stations currently operating within the township. Residents planning longer journeys typically rely on home charging solutions or investigate options in neighbouring areas – though specific details about stations within a 20km radius remain scarce. This lack of public infrastructure makes home charging particularly vital for local EV owners.
For those considering an electric vehicle, compatibility is straightforward. Most models popular in Australia – including the Tesla Model 3 (513km range) and Audi e-tron GT (540km range) – use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors. These standards work seamlessly with home wallbox chargers, with the Tesla Model 3’s 170kW charging capability allowing a 50% charge in just 15 minutes when using compatible equipment.
The real charging revolution in Tooranie happens under the outback sun. With solar radiation levels 18% higher than the NSW average, residents can harness clean energy to power both homes and vehicles. A typical 6.6kW solar system here generates about 33kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Tesla Model 3 twice over while still powering household appliances. Financially, this translates to substantial savings: charging a mid-sized EV with solar costs about 5c/km compared to 20c/km using grid power.
Local EV owners have embraced clever charging strategies. The BMW XM’s 7.4kW charger pairs perfectly with solar production, allowing daytime charging during peak sunlight. Meanwhile, the Audi e-tron’s 85-minute fast-charging capability (on 50kW systems) remains ready for those occasional trips to larger regional centres.
As Tooranie’s EV journey evolves, the combination of home charging and solar power offers both practicality and sustainability. For those considering the switch to electric, installing a home charging station paired with solar panels could reduce annual energy costs by up to $600 while keeping your vehicle powered by pure Australian sunshine.
