Nestled in South Australia’s sun-drenched plains, Yeelanna (population 205) may be small, but its residents show growing interest in sustainable transport. While only three plug-in hybrid electric vehicles were registered here in 2021, the region’s abundant sunshine and eco-conscious spirit make it ripe for EV adoption. With no new EV registrations in 2022-2023, locals are increasingly looking to future-proof their homes with solar-charging solutions – a smart move given Yeelanna’s impressive 17.6 MJ/m²/day solar radiation (equivalent to 4.9 kWh/m²/day).
Public EV charging stations remain scarce – our research shows none within a 20km radius of Yeelanna. Residents planning longer journeys typically charge in regional hubs like Port Lincoln (150km west) or Adelaide (280km east), where networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors. These match popular models like the Kia EV9 (443km range) and BMW iX2 (427km range), both using CCS2 for rapid charging.
For daily driving, home charging proves most practical. Yeelanna’s solar potential shines here – a typical 5kW solar system generates about 24.5kWh daily, enough to fully charge a Hyundai Kona Electric (16.9kWh/100km) for 145km of emission-free driving. At current electricity prices, solar-charging could save $600-$800 annually compared to petrol costs for similar-sized vehicles.
Three key steps for solar-powered EV ownership:
- Install a 7kW+ home charger (compatible with Type 2/CCS2 connectors)
- Size your solar system to cover both household and EV needs
- Consider battery storage to charge overnight using daytime solar
While Yeelanna’s EV journey is just beginning, its solar resources position residents to lead the charge in sustainable transport. As one local put it: ‘Why wait for public stations when the sun fills my “tank” for free?’
