Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Western Australia’s sunny Wheatbelt region, Watheroo (population 152) might seem an unlikely candidate for electric vehicle adoption. Yet this small, eco-minded community is quietly embracing sustainable transport. While just three electric vehicles were registered here in 2021-2022, local interest continues to grow as more Australians switch to cleaner transport. With 65 homes spread across this rural expanse and abundant sunshine averaging 5.56 kW/m²/day (converted from 20 MJ/m²/day), Watheroo offers unique opportunities for EV owners to charge smarter.
Public EV charging infrastructure remains limited in Watheroo itself, with no confirmed stations within the town. Residents and visitors planning longer journeys typically rely on home charging solutions or plan stops in larger nearby towns. Popular models like the Toyota bZ4X (535km range) and MG MG4 (405km range) – both using CCS2 connectors – are well-suited to Watheroo’s driving distances, particularly when paired with smart charging strategies.
For those charging at home, Watheroo’s solar potential shines. The area’s strong solar radiation means a typical 6.6kW solar system can generate enough energy to power both household needs and EV charging.

With battery storage systems becoming more affordable, many locals are exploring 24/7 solar charging solutions.
Most modern EVs in Australia, including the Land Rover Range Rover Velar PHEV and popular CCS2/Type 2-compatible models, can integrate seamlessly with home solar setups. A 7kW home charger typically replenishes 40-50km of range per hour, making overnight solar battery charging practical even without public stations.
