Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
With its sunny climate and eco-minded community, Mungar is embracing the electric vehicle revolution. Just three years ago, only 104 EVs were registered here – but by 2023, that number surged to 209 (a 101% increase!). As more locals switch to models like the Mercedes-Benz EQE and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, understanding your charging options has never been more important. Let’s explore Mungar’s EV infrastructure and how solar power could be your fuel-of-the-future.
While Mungar itself is still growing its public charging network, drivers have convenient access to the Chargefox station at Calliope River Rest Area (19km north). This 24/7 site offers ultra-rapid CCS2 charging – perfect for topping up your Tesla Model 3 or CUPRA Formentor PHEV while enjoying river views. Nearby Gladstone’s shopping precincts also host Type 2 chargers, combining errands with battery boosts.
Most Mungar EV owners use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors, compatible with popular local models like the Lexus NX PHEV and Mazda CX-60 PHEV. The Chargefox network dominates our region, though Tesla Superchargers in Rockhampton (110km south) suit longer trips. Pro tip: Keep a CHAdeMO adapter handy for older Nissan Leaf models visiting from neighbouring towns.
Here’s where Mungar truly shines: solar potential. Our 18.90 MJ/m²/day irradiation converts to 5.25 kWh/m²/day – enough to charge a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV’s 13.8kWh battery in under three hours of sunlight. Pair panels with a 7kW home charger (like those used by Mazda PHEV owners), and you could slash charging costs by 60-80%. Battery storage systems let you ‘time-shift’ solar energy for night-time charging too.
