Wondering where you can charge your EV when you come to Maleny, we have you covered.
Finding the Chargers in Maleny
Most EV owners use the PlugShare app to locate chargers — all of Maleny’s stations are listed there, so it’s worth downloading the app before you arrive.
A quick note on plugs: Type 2 refers to the socket on the charging lead itself. Most EV owners carry their own Type 2 lead, and it’s worth having one, since some chargers require it (see below).

Quick Tips
