Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Millwood’s electric vehicle revolution is quietly gaining momentum. With 44 EVs registered in 2023 – up from just 24 in 2021 – this Northern Territory suburb’s 23,000-strong community is embracing cleaner transport. While our tropical climate brings sweltering days, it also delivers exceptional solar potential (6.14 kW/m² daily), making Millwood ideal for eco-conscious drivers looking to pair EVs with renewable energy.
Public charging infrastructure remains limited within Millwood itself, but nearby hubs within a 20km radius offer essential services. The Palmerston Shopping Centre hosts dual-port Chargefox stations (CCS2/Type 2), while Royal Darwin Hospital provides 22kW AC charging – perfect for topping up during appointments. Adventurous types exploring the Adelaide River region will find 50kW DC chargers at strategic pit stops.
Three major networks dominate our region:
- Chargefox: Ultra-rapid 350kW CCS2 chargers (18-minute charges for Hyundai Ioniq 6)
- Evie Networks: 50kW+ stations compatible with all modern EVs
- Tesla Superchargers: Exclusive to Tesla owners, but adapters available
Most local EVs use CCS2 connectors, including popular models like the Kia EV6 (528km range) and Polestar 2 (625km range). PHEV owners driving Cupra Formentors (58km electric range) typically rely on home charging.
Here’s where Millwood shines: solar-powered EV charging. Our 6.14 kW/m² daily irradiation means a 6kW solar system generates ~36kWh daily – enough to:
- Fully charge a Hyundai Kona BEV every 2 days
- Power 2,500km monthly driving in an Ioniq 6 (14.3kWh/100km)
- Save $1,300+ annually versus grid charging
With battery-only EVs still rare (just 3 registered locally), most owners use home chargers. A 7kW Wallbox paired with solar panels typically pays for itself in 3-4 years. Considering the Kia EV6’s 18-minute fast-charge capability? That’s best reserved for road trips – daily solar charging preserves battery health.
Ready to join Millwood’s electric evolution? Local solar installers can design systems that offset both home energy use and EV charging. With vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology emerging, your future EV might even power your home during peak times. The road to sustainable transport starts right here – and it’s sun-powered.
