SUNSHINE Coast EV charging network expands with new Tesla Supercharger site at Palmview.
Electric vehicle drivers on the Sunshine Coast now have another fast-charging option on a major travel route, with Tesla switching on a new Supercharger site at Palmview, just off the Bruce Highway.
The new site, located on Downunder Drive outside Aussie World and The Banana Bender Pub, becomes the fifth Tesla Supercharger location on the Sunshine Coast and is expected to support increased holiday traffic during the summer school break.
The Palmview installation features 10 V4 Superchargers, offering rapid charging and improved access for a wider range of vehicles, including non-Tesla EVs, thanks to updated technology and longer charging cables.
Aussie World and Banana Bender Pub Business Development Manager Carlos Furtado said the new chargers provide a convenient stop for locals and visitors travelling through the region.
“Tesla’s latest site is making it easier than ever for people travelling to or through the Sunshine Coast to recharge while they take a break,” Mr Furtado said.
“It’s the perfect time to line up your trip with a visit to Aussie World for a day packed with rides, experiences and UNREAL fun while your EV powers up for the next leg of the journey.
“And if you’re looking for a bite to eat or a cold drink, The Banana Bender Pub has everything you need for a short or longer stopover.”
Tesla APAC Charging Network Senior Manager Alex Probst said the opening forms part of the company’s broader push to expand charging capacity across South East Queensland ahead of peak travel season.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our Supercharger network this summer with an iconic Australian location, making road trips more fun, sustainable, and at a fraction of the cost of conventional fuel,” Mr Probst said.
