Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sunny countryside, Binjour (population 2,317) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While our town might be small, EV adoption is accelerating – from just 3 electric cars registered in 2021 to 10 in 2023, a 233% surge. This growth reflects our community’s eco-conscious values and abundant sunshine, perfect for sustainable transport solutions.
Public Charging in Binjour Currently, there are no public electric vehicle charging stations within Binjour itself or a 20km radius. This makes home charging particularly important for local EV owners. When travelling beyond our region, major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors in nearby areas. The popular Peugeot Partner BEV (258km range) and Mazda MX-30 BEV (224km range) both use CCS2, while the Porsche Panamera PHEV utilises Type 2 – so ensure your vehicle’s compatibility before longer trips.
Harnessing Solar Power With 19.5 MJ/m²/day of solar radiation (equivalent to 5.42 kW/m²/day), Binjour’s climate is ideal for solar-powered EV charging. A typical 6.6kW solar system here can generate 26kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Mazda MX-30’s 35.5kWh battery every 1.5 sunny days. At current electricity rates, this could save $550+ annually compared to grid charging for 15,000km driving. Even the McLaren Artura PHEV’s sophisticated system becomes more affordable when paired with solar energy.
Practical Home Charging Solutions Most Binjour residents charge overnight using standard power points (15km range/hour) or dedicated wallboxes (40km+/hour). Pairing a 7kW home charger with solar panels creates a self-sufficient system – the Ford Escape PHEV’s 14.7kWh/100km consumption becomes virtually free during daylight charging. Queensland’s solar rebates make this combination increasingly accessible, with many local installers offering tailored solutions for rural properties.
Looking Ahead As our EV community grows (17 plug-in vehicles registered since 2021), demand for charging infrastructure will likely increase. For now, solar-powered home charging remains Binjour’s smartest option. Whether you’re considering the $59,990 Peugeot Partner BEV or a more affordable plug-in hybrid, pairing it with solar panels ensures low running costs and environmental benefits.
