Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Tasmania’s pristine landscape, Lileah is embracing the electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This eco-conscious community, powered by the state’s reputation for clean energy, has seen EV registrations surge by 144% since 2021 – jumping from 18 plug-in vehicles (all hybrids) to 85 electric and plug-in hybrids by 2023. With nearly 2,500 vehicles on local roads, this shift reflects Tasmanians’ growing appetite for sustainable transport.
Public charging options currently centre around the Lileah Central Shopping Hub’s 50kW DC fast charger – the sole public station within a 20km radius. This CCS2/Type 2 compatible charger offers practical top-ups while you shop, with 30-minute sessions capable of adding 200km+ to models like the Kia EV9. Visitors exploring nearby attractions like the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area appreciate its 24/7 accessibility.
Chargefox, Australia’s largest open network, operates this station – a relief for drivers of popular models like the BMW i7 (625km range) or Peugeot 2008 BEV. The CCS2 standard dominates here, compatible with 90% of new EVs sold in Australia. CHAdeMO users will need adapters, though few local EVs require this older standard.
Where Lileah truly shines is solar potential. With 14.30MJ/m²/day irradiation (3.97kWh/m²/day), rooftop panels can power your EV year-round. A 5kW system generates ~20kWh daily – enough to fully charge a BMW 5 Series BEV (16.5kWh/100km) for 120km of emissions-free driving. Pair this with off-peak charging, and annual fuel savings could exceed $2,000 compared to petrol equivalents.
For hybrid owners like those driving the Range Rover Evoque PHEV, solar charging transforms short commutes. Its 66km electric range costs under $1.50 via solar versus $12 in petrol – a 700% saving. Even the energy-hungry BMW i7 becomes affordable when sunshine fuels its 22.2kWh/100km appetite.
As Lileah’s EV community grows, smart owners are future-proofing. Government rebates can slash solar installation costs by 30%, while modern bi-directional chargers let vehicles power homes during peak tariffs. It’s a win-win for your wallet and the environment.
