Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt region, East Pingelly is embracing the electric vehicle (EV) revolution with its small but growing community of eco-conscious drivers. While just 13 EVs were registered here between 2022 and 2023 – up from zero in 2021 – this 100% year-on-year growth reflects a broader shift towards sustainable transport. With abundant sunshine (averaging 5.19 kW/m²/day after converting from 18.70 MJ/m²/day) and wide-open spaces, the town offers unique advantages for EV owners ready to charge smarter.
Public Charging in East Pingelly Currently, East Pingelly itself has no public EV charging stations, and options within a 20km radius remain limited. This makes home charging the most practical solution for residents. For longer journeys, drivers often plan stops in larger regional centres like Narrogin (75km east) or Brookton (55km west), where Chargefox and Evie Networks stations offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors compatible with popular models like the Mercedes-Benz EQA and Lexus RZ.
Home Charging Made Solar-Smart With 734 homes under East Pingelly’s sun-drenched skies, solar-powered EV charging shines as both an economical and environmental choice. A typical 6.6kW solar system here generates about 30kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Mercedes-Benz EQA’s 66kWh battery in two sunny days while still powering household appliances. For the Porsche Taycan’s larger 93kWh battery, pairing solar with off-peak grid charging during cloudy spells keeps costs manageable.
Connector Compatibility Most local EVs, including the Land Rover Defender PHEV and Lexus RZ, use Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors for home charging. CCS2 ports – found on the Mercedes-Benz EQA and Porsche Taycan – cater to faster DC public charging when travelling beyond the region. While CHAdeMO connectors remain rare in newer models, adapters can bridge compatibility gaps.
Why Solar Charging Makes Sense East Pingelly’s solar potential translates to tangible savings:
- Charging a Mercedes-Benz EQA (14.1kWh/100km) solely with solar costs about $0.42 per 100km versus $4.70 using grid power
- A 5kW solar system could offset 15,000km of annual driving for mid-sized EVs
- Battery warranties often align with solar panel lifespans (25+ years), creating long-term value
Taking the Next Step As East Pingelly’s EV community grows, proactive planning ensures you’ll never be left stranded. While public infrastructure develops, most residents opt for home setups combining 7kW wall chargers with solar systems. If you’re among the town’s 1,345 residents considering an EV transition, pairing your vehicle with solar panels slashes both emissions and running costs. Local installers can design systems tailored to your driveway’s sun exposure and EV’s charging needs – a smart move in our sun-rich corner of WA.
