Residents and visitors typically rely on charging options within a 20km radius or home-based solutions. Nearby regional hubs like Port Augusta (125km north) offer Chargefox ultra-rapid stations, while Evie Networks and Jolt Charging points can be found in larger neighbouring towns. These networks support CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – the standard for popular Australian EVs like the Genesis GV60 (470km range) and Mazda CX-60 PHEV.
Home Charging: Solar Power’s Sweet Spot With 19.70 MJ/m²/day of solar radiation (equivalent to 5.47 kWh/m²/day), Tepco Station’s climate is ideal for solar-powered EV charging. A typical 6.6kW solar system could generate enough energy to:
- Fully charge a Mazda CX-60 PHEV’s 76km battery in under 2 hours
- Power a Genesis GV60 for 470km weekly driving using just 3 days’ surplus energy This translates to potential annual savings of $600-$1,200 compared to grid charging, depending on driving patterns.
Future-Ready Charging Solutions For Tepco Station’s 139 households considering EVs, home charging paired with solar offers compelling advantages:
- Type 2 wallboxes (7-22kW) suit most vehicles, including luxury models like the Bentley Bentayga PHEV
