Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s lush hinterland, Tablelands is embracing electric vehicles (EVs) with open arms. This eco-minded community, blessed with over 300 days of sunshine annually, has seen EV registrations skyrocket by 450% since 2021 – jumping from just 4 plug-in hybrids to 22 electric vehicles in 2023. While still a small fraction of the town’s 1,623 registered vehicles, this growth signals a quiet revolution on our leafy streets.
For now, Tablelands itself doesn’t host public EV charging stations, making home charging particularly important. Residents planning longer journeys typically use charging hubs in nearby regional centres within a 30-minute drive. Popular charging spots in neighbouring areas often cluster around shopping precincts and key tourist routes, with many offering CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – the standard for Australia’s top-selling EVs like the Kia EV9 (443km range) and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV (606km range).
The shift to EVs makes even more sense when paired with Tablelands’ superb solar potential. With average daily solar radiation of 5.3 kW/m² – enough to power a typical EV’s 50km daily commute using just 4m² of panels – residents can dramatically cut charging costs. Take the popular Kia EV9: its 19.5kWh/100km consumption could be fully covered by a 6kW solar system on sunnier days, potentially saving over $1,500 annually compared to petrol equivalents.
Most local EV owners use Type 2 wallboxes for home charging, compatible with all plug-in models including the BMW XM PHEV (98km electric range) and Volkswagen Touareg PHEV. For faster top-ups, the CCS2 ports found at regional DC fast-chargers can juice up a BMW iX3 from 0-100% in 7.5 hours using an 11kW charger.
As Tablelands’ EV community grows, the smart money’s on solar-integrated home charging. A typical 10kW solar system here generates 53kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV every two days while still powering a household. With electricity prices rising, this combination offers both environmental and economic benefits.
Considering joining Tablelands’ electric revolution? Pairing a home charger with solar panels could slash your energy bills while future-proofing your transport needs. Our local solar installers can help design a system tailored to your EV’s requirements and Queensland’s sunny climate – making ‘fueling up’ as simple as parking in your own driveway.
