Nestled in Western Australia’s sun-drenched landscape, Mulataga is embracing the electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This eco-minded suburb, home to over 14,000 residents, has seen EV registrations surge by 143% since 2021 – jumping from 54 EVs to 131 by 2023. With battery-only models like the Subaru Solterra gaining traction and solar panels glinting on rooftops, locals are driving toward a cleaner future. Here’s your guide to staying powered up in this thriving community.
While Mulataga itself currently lacks public electric vehicle charging stations within a 20km radius, residents have adapted smartly. Most EV owners here rely on home charging solutions, particularly given the suburb’s exceptional solar resources. Visitors planning trips through the area should consider charging in nearby regional hubs before arrival. For daily needs, Mulataga’s compact size (just 6,333 homes) means most errands stay within easy driving range of home chargers.
When travelling beyond Mulataga, popular networks like Chargefox and Evie Networks offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – perfect for popular local models. The zippy Subaru Solterra (485km range) and luxurious Audi e-tron both use CCS2, while the MINI Countryman PHEV pairs seamlessly with Type 2. Tesla drivers will find compatibility through CCS2 adapters. Though CHAdeMO ports exist, their relevance is fading as newer EVs standardise to CCS2.
Here’s where Mulataga truly shines: solar-powered EV charging. The area basks in 22.8MJ/m² of daily solar radiation – that’s 6.33kW/m²/day. For perspective, a 6kW solar system could fully charge a Volvo C40’s 78kWh battery in 13 sunny hours while still powering your home. At 17.5kWh/100km, that Volvo would cost just $0.70 per 100km using solar versus $6.30 on grid power. Even Bentley Bentayga PHEV owners could recoup their $395,800 car’s energy costs faster with solar integration.
For Mulataga’s 5,089 registered vehicles transitioning from petrol, the financial case strengthens yearly.
