Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Western Australia’s sun-drenched Peel region, Red Hill is embracing the electric vehicle revolution with open arms. This eco-conscious suburb has seen registered EVs leap from 324 in 2021 to 612 in 2023 – an 89% surge reflecting both environmental awareness and practical adaptation to our 5.3 kW/m²/day solar potential (equivalent to 19.10 MJ/m²/day). Whether you’re a resident or visitor, here’s your complete guide to staying charged.
Red Hill offers 18 public charging stations within a 20km radius, blending convenience with strategic locations. The Red Hill Central Shopping Centre features dual-port CCS2/Type 2 chargers perfect for topping up while grocery shopping. Adventurers exploring the Serpentine River can utilise 50kW DC fast chargers at Riverside Tourist Park, while St. Catherine’s Hospital provides reliable Type 2 charging for patients and staff. Most stations operate 24/7, though peak-hour visitors might appreciate the shaded bays at Red Hill Recreation Centre’s solar-canopied charging points.
Three major networks dominate local infrastructure: Chargefox’s ultra-rapid 350kW stations (compatible with Hyundai Ioniq 6’s 614km-range battery), Evie Networks’ strategically placed 50kW units, and Jolt’s free 7kW chargers for slower top-ups. CCS2 remains the gold standard here, supporting 90% of new EVs including the Mercedes-Benz EQV and Lexus UX BEV. Type 2 connectors cater to older models and plug-in hybrids like the Bentley Flying Spur, while CHAdeMO ports – though rare – still service some Japanese imports.
With Red Hill’s exceptional solar radiation, home charging becomes remarkably cost-effective. A 5kW solar system here generates about 21.2kWh daily – enough to power a Hyundai Ioniq 6 for 148km (14.3kWh/100km) or offset a Mercedes-Benz eVito Van’s heavier consumption. Factor in WA’s solar rebates and feed-in tariffs, and most households recoup their solar-charger investment within 4-6 years. Local installers often recommend 7-10kW home chargers paired with 6.6kW solar systems for optimal daytime charging.
As Red Hill’s streets increasingly hum with electric motors rather than engine growls, the case for sustainable transport keeps strengthening. Whether you’re comparing the Lexus UX BEV’s 560km range or the Hyundai Ioniq 6’s 18-minute ultra-fast charging, our suburb’s infrastructure keeps pace.
