Why Choose an Electric Car in Hobart?
Sustainable Travel Made Easy
Tasmania is known for its pristine landscapes, clean air, and commitment to sustainability. Driving an electric vehicle aligns perfectly with this eco-conscious culture. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, helping reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying Tasmania’s natural wonders.
Cost-Effective and Quiet
Electric vehicles are not only better for the planet—they’re easier on your wallet. Charging an EV costs significantly less than filling up a petrol car, and many public chargers around Hobart offer free or low-cost charging. Plus, EVs offer a smooth, quiet ride, making your journey more peaceful and enjoyable.
Great for Short and Long Trips
Thanks to Tasmania’s compact geography and an expanding network of charging stations, EVs are well-suited for both short local explorations and longer road trips to places like Launceston, the East Coast, or the Huon Valley.
Top Eco-Friendly Day Trips Around Hobart
Looking for road trip ideas with your electric rental car? Here are a few EV-friendly day trips you can take from Hobart:
1. Mount Wellington / kunanyi
Just 30 minutes from Hobart CBD, Mount Wellington offers breathtaking views over the city and Derwent River. The scenic drive is ideal for an EV—no long distances, no fuel needed, and plenty of parking at the top. Bring warm layers and a camera!
2. Bruny Island
Catch the ferry to Bruny Island and explore a mix of wild coastlines, gourmet food producers, and tranquil bushland. There are charging points in Kingston and Kettering before you cross over, making it easy to keep your EV powered.
3. Richmond Historic Village
Step back in time in this charming Georgian village just 25 minutes from Hobart. Explore boutique stores, local cafés, and the iconic Richmond Bridge. With limited distances, your EV range won’t be a concern.
4. Huon Valley
Head south to the Huon Valley for lush countryside, apple orchards, and riverfront views. It’s a great escape for locals looking for a relaxing day out or weekend trip. You’ll find EV chargers in Huonville and other regional hubs.
EV Travel Tips for a Smooth Journey
To make the most of your electric road trip, keep these tips in mind:
Plan Charging Stops
Use apps like PlugShare or Chargefox to find charging stations around Hobart and southern Tasmania. Many destinations now offer chargers in public car parks, shopping centres, or tourist areas.
Drive Efficiently
EVs perform best with smooth acceleration and steady speeds. This means relaxing drives through Tasmania’s rolling hills and winding roads are not only beautiful—they’re ideal for energy conservation.
Pack Smart
EVs offer plenty of boot space for your picnic gear, hiking boots, or wine tasting finds. Just make sure to check your rental model’s luggage capacity on booking.
Stay Local and Go Slow
Part of the joy of EV travel is slowing down to explore local gems. Whether you’re wandering Salamanca Market or sipping coffee in Battery Point, enjoy the journey—not just the destination.
