Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sun-drenched landscape, Tangorin (population 1,204) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. While our community might be small, our eco-conscious mindset looms large. Between 2021 and 2023, local EV registrations grew 250% – from just 4 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to 14. Though most residents still drive petrol cars, this shift reflects Tangorin’s growing appetite for sustainable transport under our 22 MJ/m² daily solar radiation (equivalent to 6.1 kWh/m² of clean energy potential).
For public charging, Tangorin’s sole electric vehicle charging station within a 20km radius sits at the Tangorin Community Hub. This dual-port station offers CCS2 and Type 2 connectors, compatible with popular local models like the Porsche Taycan and BMW iX2. Visitors can top up while exploring our weekly farmers’ market or library facilities. The station’s 50kW capacity delivers practical charging speeds – perfect for the Taycan’s 93-minute 5-80% charge time.
Home charging shines brightest here. With solar radiation converting to 6.1 kWh/m² daily, a standard 6.6kW solar system could generate 24kWh in winter and 40kWh in summer – enough to fully charge a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (19.2kWh/100km) in 2-3 sunny days. Pairing solar panels with smart chargers lets residents power their EVs for free after system payback, typically 3-5 years in Queensland’s climate.
Local EV drivers favour Type 2 connectors for home wallboxes, compatible with all plug-in models from the Peugeot 508 PHEV to the Land Rover Range Rover Velar PHEV. CCS2 support at public stations future-proofs infrastructure for newer models like the BMW iX2’s 427km-range battery.
Considering our sparse public stations, solar-powered home charging isn’t just eco-friendly – it’s practical. A 10kW system could offset both household needs and 15,000km annual EV driving for most local models. With Queensland’s solar feed-in tariffs, excess energy can even subsidise occasional public charging costs.
