Public Charging Made Simple While Goondi itself has one public charging station within a 20km radius, locals and visitors can access reliable infrastructure at the Goondi Town Shopping Centre. This central hub features a 50kW DC fast charger compatible with CCS2, Type 2, and CHAdeMO connectors – perfect for topping up while grabbing groceries. The station forms part of the Chargefox network, Australia’s largest EV charging provider, ensuring seamless access for most modern EVs.
Vehicle Compatibility Made Clear Whether you’re driving an MG HS PHEV (Type 2 connector) or a Mercedes-Benz EQE (CCS2), Goondi’s charging infrastructure supports popular models. The town’s EV fleet includes everything from practical plug-in hybrids like the Peugeot 408 PHEV to luxury models like the BMW iX2.

Solar Charging: Goondi’s Secret Weapon Here’s where Goondi truly shines – literally. A typical 6.6kW solar system here generates about 26.8kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Mercedes-Benz EQE’s 94kWh battery in 3.5 sunny days, providing 626km of emissions-free driving. For the average local driving 36km daily (based on ABS data), solar could cover 88% of charging needs year-round. Pairing solar panels with a home charger could save $800-$1,200 annually compared to petrol costs for similar-sized vehicles.
Future-Ready Charging Solutions While public infrastructure grows, 94% of Goondi’s 4,219 vehicles still run on petrol. This presents a unique opportunity for early adopters: installing a 7kW home charger (like those used by the MG HS PHEV) with solar integration now positions households for both current needs and future energy price shifts. With 4,737 homes in the area, rooftop solar potential remains largely untapped for EV charging purposes.
Considering the jump to electric? Local EV owners recommend starting with a home charging setup. As one Mercedes EQE driver notes: ‘With our solar output, I only use public chargers for road trips – my daily commute costs less than a cup of coffee.’ If you’re exploring solar-powered charging solutions, connecting with Goondi’s experienced installers ensures your setup matches both your vehicle’s needs and our unique climate. The road to sustainable driving has never been sunnier.
