Charge up and go: The Shire’s first EV charging station is here!

Published on Thursday, 6 February 2025 at 9:06:56 AM

Great news for electric vehicle (EV) drivers - We have installed our very first EV charging station at the Shire Administration Centre! This exciting development makes it easier than ever for residents and visitors to power up their vehicles, with a medium-speed 22kW charger.

Perfect Timing, Perfect Location
While your car charges, why not make the most of it? Grab a fresh coffee from the local IGA, pick up some groceries, or take a quick stroll around the area. It’s the ultimate convenience stop.

How Does It Work?
It’s simpler than you think:

  • Universal Compatibility: The charger supports all EVs that use a Type 2 connector—the most common charging plug.
  • Get the Right App: Install a charging app like Chargefox. It shows nearby charging stations, details any fees, and estimates how much charge your vehicle will receive.
  • Start & Stop with a Tap: Control the charging process directly from the app.

Planning a Road Trip?
Chargefox integrates seamlessly with Google Maps, so you can easily find charging stations along your route. Just plug in your destination, and you’re all set for a stress-free journey.

The future of driving is here-convenient, fast, and eco-friendly. Visit the Shire Administration Centre to try out the new EV charging station today!
