Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in sunny Queensland, Mulara (population 22,284) has embraced electric vehicles with open arms. Between 2021 and 2023, EV registrations surged by over 100% – from 146 to 299 – reflecting the suburb’s eco-conscious spirit. With 19 battery-only EVs now cruising its streets and Queensland’s average 5.58 kW/m²/day solar irradiation (converted from 20.10 MJ/m²/day), Mulara offers ideal conditions for sustainable driving. Here’s your complete guide to keeping your EV powered up.
While Mulara itself doesn’t host public EV charging stations, residents frequently use nearby options within a 20km radius. Popular choices include Springfield Central Shopping Centre’s 50kW DC chargers (perfect for topping up while grocery shopping) and Ipswich Hospital’s Type 2 AC stations (ideal for longer visits). These locations typically support CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – the standard for popular local models like the BYD Atto 3 (345km range) and Hyundai Ioniq 5 (451km range).
Major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks maintain stations in surrounding suburbs, ensuring compatibility with most EVs. The CCS2 connector dominates newer models like the MG4 (405km range) and Mazda MX-30 BEV, while Type 2 suits plug-in hybrids like the MINI Countryman PHEV. CHAdeMO stations remain rare, so CCS2-equipped drivers enjoy the broadest options.
For Mulara residents, solar-powered home charging offers unmatched convenience and savings. A typical 6.6kW solar system here generates about 30kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Hyundai Ioniq 5 (17.9kWh/100km) for 168km of driving, essentially eliminating fuel costs. Even the thirstier MG4 (18.4kWh/100km) could cover 163km daily on sunshine alone. With Queensland’s generous feed-in tariffs shrinking, using solar directly for EV charging makes increasing financial sense.
Considering a home setup? Pairing a 7kW wall charger with solar panels lets you charge overnight using stored energy. For the BYD Atto 3 (16kWh/100km), this means a full 345km range costs just $9.60 from the grid versus free with solar – saving $1,200+ annually for 15,000km drivers.
