Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
With its sun-drenched landscapes and eco-minded community, Woolomin is embracing the electric vehicle revolution. Just three years ago, only 376 electric vehicles (EVs) were registered here – but by 2023, that number more than doubled to 752. This 100% surge reflects both Australia’s clean energy shift and Woolomin’s ideal conditions for EV ownership, where abundant sunshine (averaging 5.03 kW/m² daily) pairs perfectly with solar-powered charging solutions.
While Woolomin itself currently lacks public charging stations, nearby infrastructure within a 20km radius supports greener journeys. Popular regional destinations like Tamworth’s Goonoo Goonoo Road precinct offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors compatible with most models, while hospitals and shopping hubs often host Chargefox or Evie Networks stations. Always check your route – popular local EVs like the Audi e-tron (using CCS2) or MG HS PHEV (Type 2) charge efficiently at these sites.
For Woolomin residents, home charging remains the most convenient option. Pairing a 7kW home charger with solar panels unlocks significant savings: our 5.03 kW/m² solar potential means a standard 6.6kW system generates ~33kWh daily – enough to fully recharge a Hyundai Kona BEV’s battery while powering household needs. Even plug-in hybrids like the MINI Countryman PHEV (15.2kWh/100km) could cover their 50km electric range using just 7.6kWh – less than a third of a typical solar system’s daily output.
Major charging networks like Chargefox and Tesla Superchargers use CCS2 connectors, compatible with 93% of Woolomin’s registered EVs. Type 2 sockets also cater to older models, while CHAdeMO remains rare. Local favourites like the Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV (20.9kWh/100km) benefit most from overnight charging – a 3kW trickle charge covers its 52km range in 10 hours, ideal for solar-stored energy.
Harnessing Woolomin’s solar potential makes EV ownership remarkably affordable. A household driving 15,000km annually in an MG HS PHEV would spend just $552 on solar-generated electricity versus $1,152 using grid power (at $0.30/kWh). Over a decade, these savings could offset a full solar system installation.
