Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sunny heartland, Moongan (population 2,433) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While our tight-knit community has traditionally relied on petrol cars – with 2,311 ICE vehicles registered in 2021 – change is sparking. By 2023, local EV registrations surged to 8 (a 33% increase from 2021), reflecting both growing environmental awareness and confidence in emerging charging solutions. With 19.7 MJ/m² of daily solar radiation (equivalent to 5.47 kW/m²/day), Moongan’s climate perfectly complements sustainable transport – let’s explore your charging options.
While Moongan itself is yet to install public EV charging stations, several conveniently located options operate within a 20km radius. Neighbouring towns offer stations at key destinations like the Biloela Shopping Centre (32km north-west) with 50kW DC fast chargers, and the Callide Dam Visitor Centre (18km east) featuring 22kW Type 2 posts – ideal while exploring this popular picnic spot. For longer journeys, the Bruce Highway’s Chargefox ultra-rapid stations (75km east near Miriam Vale) deliver 350kW charging, compatible with modern EVs like the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV (698km range) and Toyota bZ4X (535km range).
Major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate our region, using Australia’s standard CCS2 and Type 2 connectors. This ensures compatibility with popular models including the Toyota bZ4X (CCS2, 40-minute 10-80% charge) and Mercedes eVito Tourer (CCS2, 421km range). While CHAdeMO ports are rare locally, most new EVs like the Peugeot 2008 BEV (30-minute 0-80% charge) use future-proofed CCS2. Always check your vehicle’s connector type – particularly if considering plug-in hybrids like the CUPRA Leon PHEV (67km electric range, Type 2 compatible).
Here’s where Moongan shines: solar-powered home charging. Our 5.47 kW/m²/day solar potential means a typical 6.6kW rooftop system generates ~26kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Toyota bZ4X (12.8kWh/100km) weekly while powering your home. With electricity prices rising, solar-charged EV running costs plummet to 2-4 cents/km versus 15-20 cents/km for petrol equivalents. Over a year, this could save $2,000+ for drivers covering 15,000km. Queensland’s solar rebates and battery incentives make installations even more appealing.
Ready to embrace cleaner transport? Pairing a 7kW home charger (fully charges most EVs overnight) with solar panels creates an eco-friendly powerhouse. For Moongan residents, we recommend consulting accredited installers about systems sized for both household needs and EV charging – the Mercedes EQS SUV’s 19.1kWh/100km consumption might require larger setups than a Cupra Leon PHEV. With smart chargers optimising solar usage, you could drive on sunshine year-round. Contact local solar professionals through our network to start your sustainable journey today.
