Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sun-drenched landscape, Feluga (population 4,982) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. Between 2021 and 2023, EV registrations here doubled from 26 to 52 vehicles – a clear sign locals are swapping petrol pumps for cleaner alternatives. With 2,345 homes and abundant sunshine averaging 18.90 MJ/m²/day (equivalent to 5.25 kW/m²/day), this eco-conscious community is perfectly positioned to lead Queensland’s sustainable transport shift.
Public Charging Made Simple While Feluga itself has one public charging station within a 20km radius, residents often combine errands with charging at nearby regional hubs. The closest station supports CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – perfect for popular local models like the zippy GWM Ora (310km range) and family-friendly Kia EV9 (443km range). Though options are limited compared to cities, the station’s strategic location near essential services makes topping up convenient during day trips.
Future-Proof Charging Networks Feluga’s charging infrastructure aligns with Australia’s mainstream standards. The CCS2 connector (used by 80% of new EVs) dominates here, compatible with showroom favourites like the Lexus RZ and Volkswagen’s plug-in hybrids. Type 2 sockets cater to older models, while CHAdeMO support remains rare – something Nissan Leaf owners should note. Regional networks like Chargefox and Evie ensure reliability, though Tesla drivers will need to venture slightly further for Supercharger access.
Solar Charging: Feluga’s Secret Weapon With enough annual sunshine to power 5kW systems (generating ~21kWh daily), Feluga homes could fully charge a GWM Ora’s 48kWh battery in 2.5 sunny days – essentially free motoring. Even the energy-hungry Porsche Cayenne PHEV (20.9kWh/100km) becomes economical when paired with solar. For the average local driving 40km daily, a 6kW solar system could cover 90% of EV energy needs year-round, slashing bills by $600+ annually.
