Public Charging Made Simple Five public electric vehicle charging stations serve Coonarr and its surrounds within a 20km radius. The Coonarr Central Shopping Centre offers a 50kW DC fast charger (CCS2/Type 2), ideal for topping up while grabbing groceries. For those exploring the coast, the Bargara Beachfront charging hub provides a 22kW Type 2 charger near cafes and walking trails. Healthcare visitors will appreciate the 7kW Type 2 charger at Bundaberg Hospital – perfect for longer stops. All stations are accessible 24/7, though we recommend checking network apps for real-time availability.
Charging Networks & Compatibility Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate Coonarr’s charging infrastructure, supporting popular CCS2 and Type 2 connectors. This covers most Australian EVs, including the zippy Polestar 2 (625km range) and family-friendly BMW iX1 (464km range). CHAdeMO users will find limited options locally, so consider carrying a CCS2 adapter. The Mercedes-Benz EQS and Peugeot 508 PHEV owners can use all local stations, though home charging better suits plug-in hybrids’ smaller batteries.
Harness Coonarr’s Solar Potential With 20.30 MJ/m²/day solar radiation (5.6 kW/m²/day), Coonarr households can slash charging costs dramatically. A 6.6kW solar system generates about 30kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Polestar 2 (77kWh battery) every 2-3 days. Even partial solar charging makes a difference: powering a BMW X5 PHEV’s 24kWh battery daily costs just $0.60 with solar versus $5.04 on grid power (assuming 28c/kWh feed-in tariff vs 21c/kWh import).
Smart Charging Strategies Pair timed charging with solar production peaks (10am-3pm) for maximum savings. Most home chargers like the Zappi or Fronius Wattpilot enable solar-only charging modes. For commuters driving 50km daily in a BMW iX1 (15.7kWh/100km), a 5kW solar system could cover 90% of their annual charging needs.
Considering a home charging setup? Pairing it with solar panels could cut your energy bills by hundreds annually. Local installers can design systems that keep your EV charged using Coonarr’s abundant sunshine – ask about battery storage to charge overnight without grid reliance. Ready to drive on sunshine?
