Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Queensland’s sunny hinterland, Tansey is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. With just over 1,000 residents, this tight-knit community has seen registered EVs jump from 4 in 2021 to 7 in 2023 – a 75% increase. While that might seem modest compared to cities, it reflects Tansey’s growing appetite for sustainable transport, particularly among its eco-conscious residents who enjoy 5.3 kWh/m²/day of solar irradiation (converted from 19 MJ/m²/day). Let’s explore how locals and visitors keep their EVs powered.
Public charging stations remain limited in Tansey itself, but drivers aren’t stranded. Within a 20km radius, key destinations like the South Burnett’s agricultural hubs and Kingaroy’s shopping precinct offer charging options. Popular models like the Hyundai Kona BEV (CCS2 compatible) and Toyota bZ4X (CCS2) can leverage networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks at these locations. While specific station counts are unavailable, regional routes increasingly feature DC fast chargers – crucial for models needing quick top-ups, like the Kona’s 47-minute 10-80% charge capability.
Compatibility is straightforward here. All new EVs sold in Australia, including Tansey’s popular Toyota bZ4X and BMW X3 PHEV, use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors. The occasional CHAdeMO user (common in older Japanese imports) should carry an adapter. Tesla drivers can use CCS2 chargers with provided adapters, though Superchargers are currently absent locally.
Where Tansey truly shines is solar-powered home charging. With 5.3 kWh/m²/day irradiation – 22% above Brisbane’s average – a 6kW solar system could generate 26kWh daily. That’s enough to fully charge a Toyota bZ4X (535km range) every 2-3 days, slashing fuel costs by 70-100% compared to petrol. For plug-in hybrids like the Volkswagen Touareg PHEV, daily solar charging covers its 51km electric range using just 10.8kWh – less than half a typical household’s daily solar output.
Practical considerations? Morning charging aligns best with Queensland’s solar curve, and energy management systems can prioritise EV charging during peak production. With EV registration fees often offset by solar savings (the BMW X3 PHEV costs just $2.30/100km charged from solar vs $14.50 for petrol), it’s no wonder locals are plugging in.
If you’re among Tansey’s EV pioneers or considering the switch, pairing a home charger with solar makes economic sense.
