Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Western Australia’s sun-drenched landscape, Brockman is quietly becoming a hub for electric vehicle (EV) adoption. With 59 EVs registered in 2023 – up from just 6 in 2021 – the suburb’s 883% growth reflects its eco-conscious ethos. As locals embrace cleaner transport, understanding charging infrastructure is key. Here’s your complete guide to keeping your EV powered in Brockman.
While Brockman itself doesn’t yet host public EV charging stations, residents often use nearby options within a 20km radius. Popular regional hubs like Geraldton (62km north) feature Chargefox and Evie Networks stations, ideal for longer trips. These sites typically offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors, compatible with most Australian EVs like the BMW i4 and Volvo XC40 BEV. Planning ahead remains essential – most locals rely on home charging solutions given Brockman’s current infrastructure gap.
CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) dominate the local EV landscape, supporting popular models including the Genesis G80 BEV and LDV eT60 ute. The Genesis’s 22-minute fast-charging capability (10-80% on 350kW chargers) exemplifies why CCS2 has become WA’s connector of choice. CHAdeMO stations remain rare, so Nissan Leaf owners should carry adaptors when travelling beyond the region.
Brockman’s true charging superpower lies overhead – its 22.10 MJ/m²/day solar radiation (6.14 kW/m²/day) makes solar-powered EV charging exceptionally viable. A 6kW solar system here generates about 30kWh daily – enough to fully power a Volvo XC40 BEV (18.3kWh/100km) for 160km of emissions-free driving. For the LDV eT60, this translates to $0.08/km versus $0.20/km for diesel utes – a 60% saving. Battery storage systems extend these benefits after sunset, making solar a smart long-term investment.
As Brockman’s EV community grows, pairing home chargers with solar panels offers both convenience and cost control. Local sparkies can install weatherproof 7kW Wallbox chargers in under four hours – perfect for overnight top-ups using daytime solar reserves. With federal rebates still available, there’s never been a better time to future-proof your transport.
