Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in sunny Queensland, Tinnanbar is embracing the electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This eco-conscious coastal community, blessed with over 5.4 kWh/m² of daily solar irradiation (converted from 19.50 MJ/m²), has seen EV registrations leap by 101% since 2021 – from 104 plug-in vehicles to 209 in 2023. Whether you're a resident or visitor, here's your guide to staying charged in this progressive suburb.
While Tinnanbar itself remains blissfully quiet, the single public charging station within a 20km radius sits at a strategic community hub. This conveniently located Chargefox station offers both CCS2 and Type 2 connectors, compatible with popular local models like the Lexus NX PHEV and LDV Mifa9. The 120kW ultra-rapid charger can boost the LDV Mifa9 from 30-80% in just 36 minutes – perfect for topping up while enjoying nearby amenities.
Compatibility is key in Tinnanbar's EV landscape. Most vehicles here use the CCS2 standard (favoured by the LDV Mifa9) or Type 2 connectors (used by the Lexus NX PHEV and BMW X3 PHEV). The local Chargefox station supports both, while Tesla owners can access nearby Superchargers in larger neighbouring towns. With 17 battery-only EVs now registered, the infrastructure is adapting to support growing demand.
Solar charging shines brightest here – literally. Tinnanbar's abundant sunshine converts to serious savings: a 5kW solar system generates about 27kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Lexus NX PHEV (14kWh/100km) and still power a typical household. Over a year, this could save $600+ in fuel costs compared to petrol vehicles. The BMW X3 PHEV’s 240-minute charge time aligns perfectly with daytime solar production, making slow charging surprisingly economical.
For Tinnanbar’s 31,346 residents, home charging often makes more sense than the lone public station. Pairing solar panels with a wall charger creates a self-sufficient ecosystem – imagine powering your MINI Countryman PHEV’s 50km range using nothing but Queensland sunshine. With installation costs falling 18% nationally since 2021, it’s never been smarter to go solar.
Ready to harness Tinnanbar’s solar potential? Local installers can help design a charging setup that turns your garage into a private power station. Whether you drive a pragmatic plug-in hybrid or sleek LDV Mifa9, the future of driving here is sunny, sustainable, and securely within reach.
