Important Considerations for EV Drivers
- Adaminaby has extremely limited charging infrastructure with no fast charging options
- The town is an important gateway to the Snowy Mountains and Lake Eucumbene
- It’s highly recommended to fully charge in Cooma before heading to Adaminaby
- Winter conditions can significantly reduce EV range by up to 40%
- The roads in the region involve elevation changes that can increase energy consumption
- Mobile reception can be limited in some areas, affecting charging apps
- Always have a backup charging plan when visiting remote areas like Adaminaby
- EV drivers should consider the return journey to Cooma or Jindabyne for recharging when planning their trip
Due to Adaminaby’s small size and remote location, EV charging infrastructure is still in the early stages of development. Visitors with electric vehicles should plan their charging strategy carefully, especially if intending to explore the more remote areas around Lake Eucumbene or continue toward Kosciuszko National Park.
