Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Western Australia’s sun-drenched Wheatbelt region, Badgebup (population 3,611) is quietly embracing the electric vehicle revolution. Between 2021 and 2023, EV registrations here grew by 75% – from 16 to 28 electric vehicles – reflecting both regional Australia’s clean energy shift and the town’s practical approach to sustainable transport. For residents and visitors navigating this change, here’s your complete guide to keeping powered up.
While Badgebup itself currently has one public electric vehicle charging station within a 20km radius, its strategic placement at the Badgebup Community Hub (corner of Railway Terrace and Kulin Road) makes it ideal for topping up while accessing amenities. This Type 2/CCS2-compatible charger operates at 22kW, delivering about 130km of range per hour – perfect for a lunch break charge. Visitors staying at the Badgebup Caravan Park can access 15A power points for slower overnight charging, while those exploring nearby attractions like the Kodja Place cultural centre (45km east) should plan charging stops in larger neighbouring towns.
Compatibility is key in this region. Most local EVs like the popular BYD Dolphin (410km range) and practical LDV eT60 ute (330km range) use CCS2 connectors, matching the Community Hub charger. Tesla drivers will need adapters, though the town’s growing solar capacity offers alternative solutions. Chargefox and Evie Networks remain the most common providers in regional WA, so ensure your accounts are set up before road-tripping.
Here’s where Badgebup truly shines: solar-powered charging. With 5kW/m²/day of solar radiation (converted from 17.90MJ/m²/day), a typical 6.6kW home solar system here generates 26-32kWh daily – enough to fully charge a BYD Dolphin’s 44.9kWh battery in 1.5 sunny days. Pair this with a 7kW home charger ($1,200-$2,000 installed), and you could slash charging costs by 70-100% compared to grid power. Even the energy-hungry Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV (19.1kWh/100km) would cost just $4.17 per 100km using solar versus $14.30 on grid power (based on Western Power’s 30c/kWh rate).
For Badgebup’s 1,694 households, the equation is compelling. Retirees Jan and Rob Mitchell report their 10kW solar system charges their LDV eT60 for free while powering their home: “Our ute’s ‘fuel’ bill dropped from $160/month to zero – the system paid for itself in under four years.”
As EV adoption accelerates, proactive planning ensures you’ll stay ahead. Considering an electric vehicle home charger?
