Between 2021 and 2023, EV registrations here surged by 73.7% – from 19 electric and plug-in hybrids to 33. While the suburb’s 2,412 vehicles still predominantly run on petrol, this shift reflects Queensland’s broader green transport trends. With an average solar radiation of 5.28 kW/m²/day (converted from 19 MJ/m²/day), Wonbah’s climate makes solar-powered driving particularly appealing.
For public charging, the Wonbah Marketplace shopping centre hosts the suburb’s sole DC fast-charging station within a 20km radius. This CCS2/Type 2 compatible hub offers 50kW charging – perfect for topping up popular local models like the Subaru Solterra (485km range) during grocery runs. Visitors appreciate its strategic location near essential services, while residents often combine charging with weekend errands. The station’s compatibility with mainstream networks like Chargefox ensures seamless access for most EVs.
Home charging proves particularly practical given Wonbah’s solar potential.
