Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled in Western Australia’s sun-drenched Wheatbelt region, Yandanooka (population: 341) is witnessing a quiet revolution in sustainable transport. While electric vehicle adoption remains modest – rising from 3 plug-in hybrids in 2021 to 6 EVs (3 battery-electric, 3 plug-in hybrid) in 2023 – this 60% growth reflects the community’s growing eco-conscious mindset. With abundant sunshine averaging 5.64 kW/m²/day (converted from 20.30 MJ/m²/day), Yandanooka offers unique opportunities for EV owners to harness solar power.
Public EV charging infrastructure remains limited, with no dedicated stations currently within a 20km radius of town. Residents and visitors typically rely on home charging solutions or plan routes through larger nearby towns. Popular regional charging hubs like Dalwallinu (110km east) and Geraldton (150km west) offer Chargefox and Evie Networks stations compatible with CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – the standard for Australian EVs like the Audi e-tron GT (540km range) and Polestar 2 (625km range).
For local EV owners, solar-powered home charging presents the most practical solution. A typical 6.6kW solar system in Yandanooka can generate 30-35kWh daily – enough to fully charge a CUPRA Born (511km range) using just 17kWh/100km. This setup could save $800-$1,200 annually compared to grid charging, with payback periods accelerated by WA’s solar rebates. The town’s 171 homes, many with rooftop solar, are well-positioned to adopt this approach.
When installing home chargers, ensure compatibility with CCS2 or Type 2 connectors used by popular models like the Volvo EX30 (462km range) and Porsche Taycan (369km range). Energy monitoring systems can help optimise solar consumption – particularly valuable given Yandanooka’s higher-than-average energy consumption patterns (708 ICE vehicles still dominate local roads).
As Yandanooka’s EV community grows, combining solar power with smart charging delivers both environmental and economic benefits. For those considering this transition, consulting local solar installers familiar with WA’s climate conditions and EV-specific energy needs ensures optimal system sizing. With the right setup, you could be driving on sunshine while supporting Yandanooka’s sustainable future.
