Electric vehicle owner Corey Stenhouse has travelled to Adelaide from Broken Hill several times in his Tesla.

During his travels, he has noticed a need for more fast chargers along rural routes.

"We are finding that the chargers are being occupied by other users more often with each journey we do, which can further delay a charge," he said.

As part of its border-to-border electric vehicle charging network, the Royal Automobile Association of South Australia (RAA) has identified Yunta as one of its future sites.

However, putting a charging station in the town may be more difficult than first thought, according to Yunta resident Kerry Hucks.

"Our power source is not on the grid," she said.

"They will [the RAA] have to go through the company that owns the power in the town."

'Haven't got the capacity'

Towns that are not on a power grid have a limited supply of power, which is often supplied by diesel generators.

Those generators require a lot of maintenance to maintain their optimal performance.

Dalfoam supplies Yunta with power and a company called All Gen Solutions looks after the generators at its power station.

All Gen Solutions works on remote area and off-grid power supplies across Australia, which includes installation, maintenance, and managing of power stations.

Director Adam Lillecratt said the company had been engaged by Dalfoam to see whether there were capabilities for a charging station.

"We've done a bit of background research; they haven't got the capacity or the network distribution capacity to be able to put a fast charger in just purely because of the size of the generators," he said.

"We're looking at options now to put in some smaller slow chargers, which are more of a 10-12-hour overnight type charge."

Location, location, location

Mr Lillecratt said All Gen was still looking for suitable locations to install smaller chargers.

The RAA has said it would like to have 7-kilowatt chargers installed.

"We've looked at quite a few locations there to see if the existing infrastructure's got the capacity or not," Mr Lillecratt said.

"Most of the places we've looked at, the actual existing infrastructure doesn't have the capacity to support those extra chargers."

Yunta is not the only place where a fast-charging station may face trouble getting installed.

Mr Lillecratt said All Gen was facing similar battles elsewhere in the state.

"We're facing the same struggle with all of those resorts and places with the EV charging, so Yunta's not just an isolated place, it's pretty much everywhere you go."
