Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in sunny Queensland, Lowesby is embracing the electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This eco-conscious suburb, blessed with 5.5 kW/m²/day of solar irradiation (equivalent to 19.90 MJ/m²/day), has seen EV registrations leap from 93 in 2021 to 206 in 2023 – a striking 121.5% surge. Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your complete guide to staying powered up.
While Lowesby itself currently lacks public EV charging stations, neighbouring suburbs within a 20km radius offer reliable options. The Toowoomba Grand Central Shopping Centre hosts a Chargefox ultra-rapid charger (CCS2 compatible), perfect for topping up your LDV eDeliver7 or Peugeot 2008 BEV while shopping. For those exploring the Lockyer Valley’s agricultural trails, the Gatton Hospital precinct features a 50kW Evie Networks station compatible with Type 2 connectors – ideal for plug-in hybrids like the CUPRA Formentor PHEV. Always check your vehicle’s connector type against station specifications before visiting.
Major charging networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate the region, supporting Australia’s most common CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors. These accommodate popular local models including the BMW 5 Series PHEV (Type 2) and Land Rover Range Rover Sport PHEV (CCS2).

With Lowesby’s abundant sunshine, solar-powered home charging is a game-changer. A typical 5kW solar system here generates about 22kWh daily – enough to fully charge a BMW 5 Series PHEV’s 17.6kWh/100km battery while covering household needs. For the average 40km daily commute, solar could slash charging costs by 70% compared to grid power. Many residents combine solar with off-peak tariffs, storing excess energy in batteries for evening charging sessions.
Considering the CUPRA Formentor PHEV’s 14.1kWh/100km consumption, a 50km daily drive would require just 7.05kWh – easily covered by six solar panels. Over a year, this setup could save $650+ in fuel costs while reducing carbon emissions by 2.5 tonnes.
