EV Charging on The Ridge
- Jun 1
- 2 min read
We love EV's and our guests who drive them.
Unfortunately, Abercrombie Ridge does not have pre-installed EV chargers therefore we recommend that guests charge their vehicles at dedicated EV Charging Stations BEFORE arriving to the Property.
Taralga has two charging stations behind 'THE ARGYLE INN' For Goulburn charging station locations: CLICK HERE For Oberon charging station locations: CLICK HERE
The power that we have here in the country is not like the power you have in the cities. And our houses are not equipped to be charging Electric Vehicles. Please DO NOT plug your car into our HOUSE sockets as this will likely trip the circuit boards and drain the houses of electricity.
We do however, have two dedicated circuit boards (separate to The Barn and The Lodge):
At the back Woodshed - behind The Barn
At the Chandelier Pergola - near The Lodge
These circuits CAN be used to charge your Electric Vehicles, however please note that electricity is not for free. We do not account for the charging of car batteries in our baseline accommodation costs, therefore if you do wish to plug in your Electric Vehicle, just like at any other charging station, there is a cost associated with using electricity from our property.
There are three (3) EV battery sizes: A 57.5Kw battery - Cost to charge is $0.45 per Kw = $23.00/charge A 75Kw battery - Cost to charge is $0.45 per Kw = $34.00/charge A 100Kw battery - Cost to charge is $0.45 per Kw = $45.00/charge
Once your car has been charged, please disconnect your vehicle from the charging plug as your car will still draw down power (this is called Idling, which we have not calculated for).
Please visit our website to pre-pay for the number of charges you wish to make prior to your arrival, alternatively upon your arrival, please notify us of your intent to charge your Electric Vehicle during your stay and we'll calculate the cost for the number of charges you wish to make and charge you accordingly to your credit card.
