Nestled in sunny Queensland, Glen Isla is fast becoming a hub for electric vehicle enthusiasts. With 78 EVs registered in 2023 – a 95% increase from 2021 – this eco-conscious community perfectly blends suburban charm with sustainable innovation. Blessed with 5.56 kW/m²/day of solar radiation (converted from 20 MJ/m²/day), locals are uniquely positioned to embrace clean transport solutions. Let’s explore your charging options.
While Glen Isla itself has limited public infrastructure, the Gladstone Shopping Centre’s Chargefox station (20km away) offers 24/7 access with CCS2 and Type 2 connectors. This dual-port setup serves popular models like the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and BMW iX. The station’s 150kW capability can juice up a Mustang Mach-E from 10-80% in about 36 minutes – ideal for topping up while grabbing groceries.
Compatibility is key in Queensland’s EV landscape. Most Glen Isla drivers choose CCS2-equipped vehicles like the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Type 2-compatible plug-in hybrids like the Lexus NX.
