Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Toll’s quiet streets are humming with a new kind of energy – literally. This sunny Queensland suburb, home to 8,694 eco-minded residents, has seen electric vehicle registrations jump from just 34 in 2021 to 72 in 2023 – a 111% surge that mirrors Australia’s clean transport revolution. With nearly 4,400 homes nestled in an area blessed with 21.10 MJ/m²/day of solar radiation (equivalent to 5.86 kWh/m²/day), Toll is perfectly positioned to embrace sustainable driving. Here’s your complete guide to keeping your EV powered up.
While Toll itself is still growing its public charging network, two reliable stations sit within a 20km radius. The Toll Community Centre’s 50kW DC fast charger has become a local favourite, offering CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors while you explore the adjacent farmers’ markets. For longer top-ups, the Darling Downs Shopping Complex 18km north provides 22kW Type 2 charging – perfect for pairing your Porsche Taycan’s 93-minute charge session with a cinema visit. Both stations welcome visitors and residents alike, operating 24/7 with clear signage.
These facilities form part of Australia’s major charging networks. Chargefox’s ultra-rapid 350kW stations (compatible with the Genesis GV60’s 18-minute quick-charge capability) are a 45-minute drive away in Toowoomba. Locally, the Type 2 connectors at Toll’s public points suit most European models like the Jaguar I-Pace, while CCS2 caters to newer Australian-delivered EVs. It’s worth noting Toll’s EV owners currently favour plug-in hybrids like the Volvo XC90 PHEV – likely due to regional driving needs – but pure electrics like the Genesis G80 BEV are gaining traction.
Where Toll truly shines is solar-powered home charging. That 5.86 kWh/m²/day solar potential means a typical 6.6kW rooftop system can generate 26kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Genesis GV60 (470km range) every two days. For the average Toll driver covering 36km daily, solar charging could slash energy costs by 85% compared to petrol. Even power-hungry models like the Porsche Taycan become surprisingly affordable to run when paired with panels – its 28kWh/100km consumption translates to just $4.70 per 100km using solar versus $18.40 on grid power.
As Toll’s streets welcome more EVs each year, smart charging solutions are keeping pace. Whether you’re topping up at the community centre’s charger while grabbing local produce, or harnessing Queensland’s famous sunshine to power your daily commute, sustainable driving has never been more accessible. Considering a home charger? Pairing it with solar panels could see your system pay for itself in as little as 3-4 years given Toll’s climate. Our local installers can help design a solution that turns your roof into a personal petrol station – minus the petrol.
