This tight-knit community of 5,500 residents has seen EV registrations jump from just 25 in 2021 to 50 in 2023 – a 100% increase that reflects both environmental awareness and practical adaptation to our 18.40 MJ/m²/day solar radiation (equivalent to 5.11 kW/m²/day).

For public charging needs, the Wallaces Creek Hotel’s Chargefox station serves as the primary hub within a 20km radius. This 50kW DC fast charger supports CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors, strategically positioned near the town’s main thoroughfare for easy access. While currently the sole public station, its location between the post office and farmers’ market makes topping up convenient while running errands or enjoying local produce.
Most EVs in Wallaces Creek use CCS2 or Type 2 connectors, compatible with popular models like the Renault Megane E-Tech (454km range) and Volvo XC40 BEV (435km range).
