These sites typically feature fast DC chargers compatible with most modern EVs. For those planning longer journeys, major networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks operate reliable ultra-rapid chargers along Queensland’s highways. Understanding your EV’s compatibility is crucial here – popular local models like the Kia Niro BEV and Fiat 500e use CCS2 connectors, while the CUPRA Leon PHEV relies on Type 2. CHAdeMO ports, though less common, are still supported at some stations. Where Pile Gully truly shines is in solar potential.
