Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sun-drenched North Burnett region, Gayndah is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. With its wide skies and eco-conscious community, this rural gem – home to 2,317 residents – has seen EV registrations jump from just 3 in 2021 to 10 by 2023, a 233% surge. While traditional utes still dominate local roads, the growing presence of models like the LDV eT60 ute and Jaguar I-Pace signals an exciting shift towards sustainable transport.
For now, Gayndah’s EV charging infrastructure remains in its early stages. Our research shows no public electric vehicle charging stations within a 20km radius of town. This means residents and visitors alike need to plan ahead. Many local EV owners have embraced home charging solutions, particularly given the region’s exceptional solar resources. With average daily solar radiation of 5.4 kWh/m² (converted from 19.50 MJ/m²), Gayndah’s climate is ideal for harnessing renewable energy.
Most modern electric vehicles in Australia use CCS2 or Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors, compatible with popular local models like the Mercedes-Benz EQV (418km range) and workhorse LDv eDeliver7 van. While CHAdeMO ports remain less common, the growing prevalence of CCS2 ensures future-proofing for owners of vehicles like the Jaguar I-Pace, which requires 12+ hours for a full 7kW charge but delivers 446km of range.
The real charging revolution here happens under Queensland’s famous sunshine. A typical 5kW solar system in Gayndah can generate about 27kWh daily – enough to fully charge an LDV eT60 ute (26.9kWh/100km) while powering a household. Over a year, solar-charged EV owners could save $800-$1,200 compared to grid power, with emissions-free motoring as a bonus.
For those considering the switch to electric vehicles, Gayndah’s solar potential makes home charging both practical and economical. Pairing a 7kW home charger with solar panels creates a future-proof setup – imagine charging your EV while processing the day’s citrus harvest using the same solar array. Local solar installers can help design systems tailored to your vehicle’s needs, whether you’re running an eT60 work ute or cruising in a Mercedes EQV.
While public charging infrastructure develops, Gayndah’s EV pioneers are leading the charge from their own driveways. As more residents embrace this sun-powered transition, the familiar sight of solar panels alongside utes and tractors may well become the new normal in this progressive rural community.
