Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in sunny Queensland, Healy is quietly becoming a hotspot for electric vehicle (EV) adoption. With 143 EVs registered in 2023 – a 66% jump from 2021 figures – this eco-conscious community is embracing cleaner transport. While our tropical climate (averaging 22.20 MJ/m²/day of solar radiation, equivalent to 6.17 kW/m²/day) makes solar charging particularly attractive, let’s explore all your EV power options.
Public charging stations remain limited within Healy itself, but nearby areas within a 20km radius offer solutions. The Healy Central Shopping Precinct recently added dual-port CCS2/Type 2 chargers, perfect for topping up while grocery shopping. Adventure-seekers heading to Mount Healy Lookout will find 50kW DC fast chargers at the trailhead car park – enough to add 200km of range to a Subaru Solterra during a hike. For those needing charge-and-wait services, Healy District Hospital offers Type 2 AC charging at 22kW.
Major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate our region, supporting universal CCS2 connectors (used by 90% of new EVs including Ford Mustang Mach-E and Genesis GV60) and Type 2 ports for hybrids like the Bentley Bentayga PHEV. Tesla drivers can use CCS2 adaptors at most stations. The BMW i7’s 195kW charging capability makes it particularly suited to our growing fast-charging infrastructure.
With Healy’s exceptional solar potential, many residents are turning rooftops into personal fuel stations. A typical 5kW solar system here generates 30kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Ford Mustang Mach-E (17.8kWh/100km) for 168km of driving. Over a year, this could save $800+ compared to grid charging. Smart chargers like the Zappi even prioritise solar energy, potentially eliminating fuel costs entirely.
As Healy’s EV community grows, home charging paired with solar offers both convenience and savings. If you’re considering an electric vehicle home charger, combining it with solar panels could lock in decade-low energy rates. Need help navigating options?
