Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the 75kW ultra-rapid charger (CCS2/CHAdeMO) at Red Gum National Park Visitor Centre, strategically placed for regional adventures. For slower top-ups, the Archer District Hospital provides 22kW Type 2 AC chargers – ideal for visitors supporting patients or staff working extended shifts.
Local charging networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks ensure compatibility with popular models. Most stations support CCS2 connectors, used by the Kia EV9 (20-minute 10-80% charges) and CUPRA Born. Type 2 sockets cater to the Volvo EX30 and Jaguar I-Pace, though drivers should note the latter’s 12.75-hour full charge time on 7kW AC. While CHAdeMO ports exist, they’re less common – Nissan Leaf owners may want to carry adapters.
