Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sunny landscape, Coorada (population 1,032) is embracing sustainable transport with quiet enthusiasm. While electric vehicle adoption remains modest – registrations held steady at three EVs annually from 2021 to 2023 – the town’s abundant sunshine (averaging 5.56 kW/m²/day solar radiation) and eco-conscious spirit create ideal conditions for green mobility growth. Let’s explore practical charging solutions for residents and visitors.
Public EV charging infrastructure remains limited within Coorada itself, with no stations currently available in town or within a 20km radius. This makes strategic planning essential for longer journeys. Many locals rely on home charging, while visitors are advised to top up in regional hubs like Toowoomba or Dalby before arriving. The nearest high-speed charging options typically appear along the Warrego Highway corridor, often situated at service stations or council facilities.
When travelling beyond Coorada, drivers will encounter major networks like Chargefox and Tesla Superchargers. These stations predominantly use CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – perfect for popular models in the area. The Tesla Model Y (510km range) charges via CCS2, while the Mercedes-Benz EQA (578km range) utilises Type 2. Even the budget-friendly MG MG4 (405km range) supports CCS2 rapid charging. CHAdeMO compatibility is rarer, mainly serving older Nissan Leaf models.
Solar power emerges as Coorada’s secret weapon for EV owners. With 20 MJ/m²/day irradiation (equivalent to 5.56 kW/m²/day), a typical 6.6kW solar system can generate 26-30kWh daily – enough to fully power a Tesla Model Y’s 75kWh battery every three days. Pairing solar panels with a home charger slashes charging costs dramatically. For instance, the Subaru Solterra’s 14.1kWh/100km consumption becomes virtually free when using solar energy, compared to $4.24/100km at Queensland’s average electricity rates.
For Coorada residents considering the switch to electric transport, solar-powered home charging offers both practicality and long-term savings. Local solar installers can design systems tailored to your EV’s needs – whether you’re charging a Porsche Panamera PHEV’s smaller battery or a long-range Tesla.
