While Goldfields itself currently lacks public EV charging stations, practical charging solutions abound. Most residents charge at home, taking advantage of Queensland’s solar-friendly climate. For longer journeys, popular networks like Chargefox and Tesla Superchargers operate in nearby regional centres, typically requiring a 30-60 minute drive. These stations support CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors – the standard for Australian EVs like the Tesla Model Y (510km range) and BYD Seal (510km range). Even plug-in hybrids popular in Goldfields, such as the Peugeot 408 PHEV and Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV, use these universal connectors.
