With its abundant sunshine (averaging 5.42 kW/m²/day after converting from 19.50 MJ/m²/day) and eco-minded community, Barlyne offers a unique environment for sustainable transport.
Public charging infrastructure remains limited within Barlyne itself, but surrounding areas within a 20km radius provide essential options. Popular nearby locations typically include highway-adjacent charging hubs and regional shopping centres, though specific stations aren’t currently mapped. For peace of mind, most residents combine occasional public charging with home solutions – especially practical given Barlyne’s compact size and average 15km daily driving needs.
Major Australian charging networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks service regional Queensland, offering CCS2 and Type 2 connectors that suit popular local models.
