Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in the heart of the Northern Territory, Mulga Bore is witnessing a quiet but steady shift towards sustainable transport. While electric vehicle (EV) adoption here remains modest, registrations for EVs and plug-in hybrids have grown by 25% since 2021 – from 8 to 10 vehicles by 2023. With its sun-drenched climate averaging 22.30 MJ/m² of daily solar radiation (equivalent to 6.19 kWh/m²), this eco-minded community is perfectly positioned to embrace cleaner driving solutions.
Public charging infrastructure remains limited, with no dedicated electric vehicle charging stations currently operating in Mulga Bore or within a 20km radius. This makes home charging essential for local EV owners. When travelling beyond the area, popular networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors compatible with most models seen locally, including the Tesla Model 3 (CCS2) and BYD Atto 3 (Type 2). The BMW iX and LDV eT60 ute also use CCS2, while the MINI Countryman PHEV relies on Type 2.
For Mulga Bore residents, solar-powered home charging presents an ideal solution. The town’s exceptional solar potential – enough to generate 25-30 kWh daily from a 5kW system – can easily cover an EV’s energy needs. For example, a Tesla Model 3 owner driving 50km daily would use just 6.6 kWh, leaving ample solar energy for household use. This setup could save over $600 annually compared to grid charging, based on Northern Territory electricity prices.
Local EV models showcase diverse charging needs. The efficient Tesla Model 3 (13.2 kWh/100km) contrasts with the work-ready LDV eT60 (26.9 kWh/100km), but both benefit from solar integration. Even the MINI Countryman PHEV’s 50km electric range can be maintained using just 7.6 kWh – easily achievable through a morning of solar generation.
As Mulga Bore’s EV community grows, combining home chargers with solar systems offers both practicality and savings. With abundant sunshine converting to 6.19 kWh/m² daily, a typical 6.6kW solar array could fully charge a mid-sized EV while powering household appliances. For those considering this transition, consulting local solar professionals ensures optimal system sizing and access to government rebates. Embrace Mulga Bore’s solar advantage – your next road trip could be powered entirely by the outback sun.
