Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in sunny Queensland, the small suburb of Kemmis (population: 701) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While just three battery-electric vehicles called Kemmis home in 2022, the community’s EV fleet grew to nine by 2023 – a clear shift toward sustainable transport in this eco-conscious town. With 20.4 MJ/m² of daily solar radiation (equivalent to 5.67 kWh/m²), residents are perfectly positioned to harness Queensland’s famous sunshine for cleaner driving.
Public charging infrastructure remains limited within Kemmis itself, with no dedicated stations currently available in the town. However, drivers can access regional networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks within a 20km radius, particularly when visiting nearby service centres or larger towns. These stations typically offer CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors – the same standards used by popular local models like the Renault Megane E-Tech (454km range) and Kia EV6 (528km range). The MG ZS BEV’s 54-minute fast-charging capability makes it particularly suited to regional driving patterns.
For Kemmis residents, home charging paired with solar power presents the most practical solution. The area’s abundant sunshine converts to serious savings: a 5kW solar system generates about 22kWh daily – enough to power an MG ZS BEV for 124km of emission-free driving. Over a year, this could save $800+ compared to grid charging. Popular PHEVs like the Land Rover Defender (52km electric range) can often run solely on solar-generated power for daily errands.
Local EV owners benefit from straightforward compatibility – all current models use either CCS2 or Type 2 connectors. The Mercedes-Benz eVito Van’s upcoming arrival (price: $91,051) suggests growing commercial EV adoption. With charge times as low as 18 minutes for the Kia EV6 using 800V chargers, regional road trips become increasingly practical.
As Kemmis’ EV community grows, solar-powered home charging emerges as the smart choice. The combination of Queensland’s sunshine (5.67 kWh/m²/day) and modern EV technology creates a perfect storm for energy independence. Considering an electric vehicle? Pairing it with solar panels could lock in decade-long fuel savings – our local installers can help design a system tailored to your driving needs and roof space. Welcome to the future of motoring, Kemmis-style.
