Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in South Australia’s sun-drenched landscape, Wertaloona is a small but forward-thinking community where sustainability meets practicality. While electric vehicle adoption here remains in its infancy – with no EVs officially registered between 2021 and 2023 – the town’s abundant sunshine (averaging 20.20 MJ/m²/day or 5.61 kW/m²/day) and eco-conscious spirit create ideal conditions for early adopters. For residents considering the switch to electric cars like the Tesla Model Y or Toyota bZ4X, this guide explains how to power your journey sustainably.
Public Charging in Wertaloona Currently, Wertaloona itself has no public electric vehicle charging stations within its boundaries. However, strategic planning makes EV ownership feasible. When travelling to regional hubs like Port Augusta (180km west) or Broken Hill (260km northeast), drivers can access networks including Chargefox and Evie Networks. These stations typically offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – the same standards used by popular models like the Lexus NX PHEV and LDV eDeliver7. Always check your vehicle’s compatibility before longer trips.
Solar Charging: Your Personal Power Station With Wertaloona’s exceptional solar radiation – equivalent to 5.61 kW per square metre daily – rooftop panels can transform sunlight into free fuel. A typical 6.6kW solar system here could generate 28-32kWh daily, enough to fully charge a Tesla Model Y (14.6kWh/100km) for 340km of driving. Pairing solar with a home charger like the popular Type 2 wallbox creates a self-sufficient ecosystem. Over a year, this setup could save $800-$1,200 compared to grid charging, based on SA’s electricity prices.
Future-Proofing Your Drive While Wertaloona’s 106 homes currently rely on internal combustion engines, early EV adopters can lead the charge. The BMW 5 Series PHEV’s 54km electric range, for instance, could cover daily needs using just 9.5kWh – easily supplied by eight solar panels. For commercial users, the LDV eDeliver7’s 43-minute fast-charging capability (20-80%) suits businesses adding panels to sheds or workshops.
