Nestled along the Tamar River, Beauty Point is embracing Tasmania’s electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This eco-conscious community, blessed with crisp coastal air and 4.22 kWh/m²/day of solar irradiation (equivalent to 15.20 MJ/m²/day), has seen EV registrations surge by 115% since 2021. Back then, just 13 electric vehicles – all plug-in hybrids – graced local roads. By 2023, that figure jumped to 28 EVs, including 4 battery-only models like the zippy Hyundai Ioniq 5 and practical BYD Dolphin. For residents and visitors exploring this scenic corner of northern Tasmania, here’s your guide to staying charged.
While Beauty Point itself remains delightfully low-key, two public charging stations serve the area within a 20km radius. The Beauty Point Marina hosts a 50kW DC fast charger (CCS2/Type 2), perfect for topping up while enjoying fish and chips with waterfront views. A 15-minute drive west, the West Tamar Council Civic Centre in nearby Beaconsfield offers another 50kW CCS2/Type 2 charger – ideal for combining errands with a quick charge. Both stations cater to popular models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (18-minute ultra-fast charging capability) and Subaru Solterra, which can gain 485km of range in 30 minutes here.
These stations operate under national networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks, supporting the CCS2 and Type 2 connectors used by 95% of Australian EVs. While CHAdeMO ports exist for older models, most drivers will find their BMW iX2 or Peugeot 2008 BEV slots straight into the ubiquitous CCS2 plugs. Compatibility checks are straightforward – simply match your car’s charging port to the station’s labelled connectors.
