Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Hart Range is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution, with its eco-minded community and sun-drenched climate creating ideal conditions for sustainable transport. While just 4 electric vehicles were registered here in 2021, that number grew to 10 (including plug-in hybrids) by 2023 – a 150% increase. Though still modest, this growth reflects Australia’s broader shift toward cleaner transport, particularly in regions blessed with abundant solar resources like the Northern Territory.
Public charging infrastructure remains limited in Hart Range itself, with no dedicated stations currently available within a 20km radius. Residents and visitors often rely on home charging or plan journeys around facilities in nearby towns. Popular regional charging hubs like Alice Springs (approximately 200km south) offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors at locations such as the Alice Springs Hospital and Yeperenye Shopping Centre. These stations typically support fast charging for models like the LDV eT60 ute, which can achieve an 80% charge in 45 minutes using an 80kW charger.
Most modern electric vehicles in Hart Range use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors, compatible with popular models like the Volvo XC60 PHEV and MG HS PHEV. The absence of local public stations makes home charging particularly valuable. Hart Range’s solar potential shines here – with average daily solar radiation of 6.14 kW/m² (converted from 22.10 MJ/m²), residents can harness clean energy effectively. A typical 6kW solar system could generate enough power to charge an LDV eT60 for 330km of range every two days, potentially eliminating fuel costs entirely.
For PHEV owners like those driving the MG HS or Volvo XC60, solar charging offers even greater efficiency. These vehicles’ smaller batteries (63-81km electric range) can be fully replenished in 3-5 hours using a standard 7kW home charger powered by solar panels. With the Northern Territory’s high electricity prices, solar-charged driving could save hundreds annually while reducing grid dependence.
Considering Hart Range’s remote location and limited infrastructure, pairing solar panels with a home charging station isn’t just eco-friendly – it’s practical. Local solar installers can design systems to match your EV’s needs, whether you’re charging a compact plug-in hybrid or a work-ready LDV ute. Ready to power your electric vehicle with sunlight?
