Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Tesbury’s quiet streets and eco-conscious community are embracing the electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This picturesque Victorian suburb, blessed with ample sunshine averaging 4.17 kW/m²/day (converted from 15 MJ/m²/day), has seen registered EVs jump from 14 in 2021 to 28 in 2023 – a 100% increase in just two years. With one-third of these being battery-only models like the zippy Fiat 500e and long-range BYD Dolphin, locals are proving sustainable transport thrives in regional Australia.
For those searching for 'electric vehicle charging stations near me', Tesbury’s sole public charger within a 20km radius sits at the Tesbury Community Hub. This CCS2/Type 2 dual-port station offers 50kW fast charging – perfect for topping up your Nissan Leaf (20-80% in 60 minutes) while enjoying the farmers’ market. Visitors can access two additional Chargefox stations 18km east in neighbouring Bendleton, strategically located near the popular Mount Tesbury walking trails.
Most Tesbury EV owners charge at home using standard Type 2 connectors compatible with popular models like the Ford Escape PHEV and BMW i4. The town’s Nissan Leaf drivers will appreciate the public charger’s CHAdeMO compatibility, though home charging remains the most convenient option. With 2,230 houses in town and solar potential better than Melbourne’s average, rooftop panels are becoming the smart choice. A 6.6kW solar system could generate enough daily energy (about 27kWh) to power a Fiat 500e for 190km – more than most weekly commutes.

Solar slashes this to mere cents, paying for itself in 3-5 years. Local sparkies report growing demand for 7kW wallboxes that fully recharge a BMW i4 overnight using sunny daytime surplus.
