Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Paget is quietly becoming a hotspot for electric vehicle (EV) adoption, reflecting Queensland’s broader shift towards sustainable transport. With 880 EVs registered in 2023 – a 119% jump from 2021 – this Mackay-region suburb’s sun-soaked climate (averaging 5.75 kW/m² daily solar irradiation) and eco-conscious community make it ideal for emission-free driving. Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your complete guide to staying charged.
While Paget itself currently lacks public EV charging stations, nearby infrastructure within a 20km radius keeps drivers moving. The Caneland Central shopping centre in neighbouring Mackay offers CCS2 fast chargers perfect for topping up while shopping, while the Mackay Base Hospital provides reliable Type 2 charging for those visiting medical facilities. Adventurous types exploring the Pioneer Valley will find 50kW DC chargers in Marian – ideal for quick pit stops en route to Eungella’s rainforest trails.
Major networks like Chargefox and Evie dominate the region’s charging landscape, supporting the CCS2 and Type 2 connectors used by most Australian EVs. Paget’s popular models showcase this compatibility:
- The zippy Renault Kangoo BEV (286km range) uses Type 2 charging
- Peugeot’s 508 PHEV and 3008 PHEV both leverage CCS2 for faster top-ups
- The long-range Kia EV5 (400km) thrives on CCS2 rapid charging
For many locals, solar-powered home charging proves most practical. Paget’s abundant sunshine converts to serious savings – a typical 6kW solar system generates 30kWh daily, enough to fully charge a CUPRA Formentor PHEV (14.1kWh/100km) for a 210km commute. Pairing panels with battery storage lets night-time charging using daytime solar excess, slashing energy costs by up to 80% compared to grid-only charging.
As Paget’s EV community grows, forward-thinking owners are increasingly turning to home solutions. Considering a home charger? Pairing it with solar panels transforms your driveway into a personal fuel station – cleaner and cheaper than any forecourt.
