Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sunny landscape, Horn is quietly embracing the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. While our town of 6,677 residents still sees traditional cars dominate the roads – with 1,947 registered vehicles in total – the steady presence of 7 EVs and 7 plug-in hybrids registered annually since 2021 shows a growing interest in sustainable transport. Combined with Horn’s abundant sunshine (averaging 5.8 kWh/m²/day of solar energy), this creates exciting opportunities for eco-conscious drivers to charge smarter and cleaner.
Public EV Charging in Horn Horn itself currently has no public EV charging stations, but nearby areas within a 20km radius offer options through major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks. These providers support popular connector types including CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes), which are compatible with most modern EVs like the BMW iX1 (464km range) and Genesis GV70 (445km range). While you won’t find charging hubs in our local shopping centres yet, neighbouring towns feature stations at key locations like hospitals and main streets – perfect for topping up during day trips.
Home Charging Made Solar-Smart With Horn’s solar potential shining at 5.8 kWh/m²/day, homeowners can harness renewable energy for EV charging. A typical 6kW solar system here could generate 30kWh daily – enough to fully power a BMW iX1 for 190km of driving. Pairing solar panels with a home charger like the popular Type 2 wallbox creates significant savings: charging a Volvo XC60 PHEV (81km electric range) daily would cost just $0.30 instead of $2.40 on grid power, saving $765 annually.
Future-Ready Charging Solutions While Horn’s current public infrastructure is limited, local EV owners are pioneering home-based solutions. The Genesis GV70’s ultra-fast charging capability (18 minutes for 10-80% charge at 350kW stations) hints at what’s possible as infrastructure expands. For now, residents favour flexible options – the CUPRA Formentor PHEV’s 58km electric range perfectly suits short trips between solar-powered top-ups.
