Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in South Australia’s sun-drenched landscapes, Murdinga is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. With 32 electric cars registered in 2023 – a 100% jump from 2021 – this eco-minded community of 4,640 residents is proving small towns can lead big changes. Whether you’re a local EV owner or visiting with your electric vehicle, here’s everything you need to navigate charging in Murdinga.
Public Charging in Murdinga: Current Landscape While Murdinga itself doesn’t currently host public EV charging stations, residents often charge at home or explore options in nearby towns. The region’s growing EV adoption – particularly models like the Audi e-tron GT (540km range) and practical LDV eT60 ute (330km range) – suggests infrastructure development may follow. For now, home charging remains the primary solution, perfectly suited to Murdinga’s suburban layout of 2,732 houses with private driveways.
Charger Compatibility & Regional Networks When travelling beyond Murdinga, popular charging networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks use CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – the same standards used by local favourites:
- Audi e-tron GT/Jaguar I-Pace: CCS2 (20-80% charge in 23-85 mins)
- Mazda CX-60 PHEV: Type 2 (7.2kW home charging) CHAdeMO compatibility remains rare, important for older Nissan Leaf owners.
Sun-Powered Driving: Solar Charging Advantages Murdinga’s 17.9MJ/m²/day solar radiation converts to 4.97kWh/m²/day – enough to fully charge a Mazda CX-60 PHEV’s 76km battery daily using just 3-4 panels. For a Jaguar I-Pace (23kWh/100km), a 6.6kW solar system could cover 35km of daily driving per hour of sunshine. With rising fuel costs, solar charging slashes running costs: the LDV eT60’s $92,990 price tag becomes more viable when ‘refuelling’ costs drop to $6.50/330km (solar) vs $65 (petrol ute equivalent).
Future-Proof Your Driving As Murdinga’s EV numbers grow – particularly battery-only models tripling in 2023 – solar-powered home charging offers energy independence. Local examples show smart solutions:
- Audi e-tron owners offsetting 23.2kWh/100km usage with 10kW systems
- Households pairing solar batteries with 7kW chargers for night-time charging
Power Your Drive Sustainably Murdinga’s clean energy potential makes EV ownership remarkably practical. If you’re among the 4682 households still using petrol vehicles, consider this: transitioning to an electric vehicle with solar charging could save $2000+ annually in fuel costs. Local solar installers can design systems that fully charge your EV while powering your home – a win for your wallet and our wheatbelt environment.
