Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast hinterland, Mungy (population 5,529) is quietly becoming a hub for eco-conscious transport. With 33 electric vehicles registered in 2023 – up 73.7% from 2021’s 19 EVs – locals are embracing cleaner driving. The town’s 2,926 households enjoy 300+ sunny days annually, creating perfect conditions for solar-powered EV charging. Let’s explore your charging options in this thriving regional community.
Public Charging: Plan Ahead Mungy itself currently hosts one public charging station at the Mungy Community Centre (24 Main Street), featuring a 50kW DC fast charger compatible with CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors. This central location offers shaded parking and walking distance to cafes. Within a 20km radius, drivers can access additional stations in neighbouring towns through the Chargefox network. The nearest 150kW ultra-rapid charger sits 18km east in Palmwoods – ideal for Hyundai Ioniq 5 owners needing an 18-minute top-up.
Vehicle Compatibility Made Simple Most Mungy EV owners drive popular models like the Subaru Solterra (485km range) and Hyundai Ioniq 5 (451km range), both using CCS2 connectors. The community centre’s Type 2 (Mennekes) AC charger suits plug-in hybrids like the Mercedes-Benz EQS and McLaren Artura. CHAdeMO users should carry adaptors, as this connector becomes less common in newer models.
Solar Charging: Mungy’s Secret Weapon With 5.28kW of solar energy per square metre daily (converted from 19MJ/m²), Mungy households can slash charging costs. A typical 6.6kW solar system produces 26kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Hyundai Ioniq 5 (67kWh battery) every 2.5 days. At Queensland’s average 30c/kWh grid rates, solar-powered drivers save $805 annually on 15,000km driving. Bonus: Excess solar earns 8-12c/kWh feed-in tariffs through local providers.
Future-Proof Your Drive While public infrastructure expands, 87% of Mungy EV owners charge at home. The Hyundai Ioniq 5’s 17.9kWh/100km efficiency makes it particularly solar-friendly – a full sun-powered charge costs just $4.15 versus $20.10 grid power. Even the energy-hungry Mercedes-Benz EQS (23kWh/100km) becomes economical when paired with solar.
