Buc-ee's is not just the ultimate road-trip stop for Beaver Nuggets and miles of gas pumps — they're cruising into the future with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations too! You might be wondering if it’s possible to juice up your EV at Buc-ee’s while grabbing one of those legendary brisket sandwiches. Good news: it is!
At present, 27 Buc-ee’s locations are equipped with Tesla Superchargers. And it gets even better — 12 also have Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Chargers! One of the newest additions to the Buc-ee's family in Johnstown, CO, boasts both types of chargers. So, you can bask in that sweet, sweet convenience while you stock up on road trip essentials.
Now, let’s talk about the Tesla Superchargers. If you're an EV aficionado, you'll be thrilled to know that many major car brands are gearing up to support Tesla's NACS charge port. Starting in 2025, Audi, BMW (along with Mini and Rolls-Royce), GM, and Honda — to name just a few — will have new electric models ready to rock with this plug, making it a breeze for those EVs to charge at Tesla stations. Don’t worry if you’ve got an older model with a CCS-type port; adapters are becoming available to connect with the growing Tesla network.
This wave of support includes companies from all around the globe, like Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, and even the iconic Rolls-Royce. By aligning themselves with Tesla’s robust network, these brands ensure you'll have plenty of spots to charge up on your adventures. And remember, Ford's already on board starting in 2024 with adapters rolling out so the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning won’t ever feel left out.
Imagine it: zipping into Buc-ee's with your EV, plugging in, and then letting loose — maybe grab some tasty snacks, browse the unique merchandise aisles, or plan your next pit stop with a Texas-sized iced tea in hand. Buc-ee’s is clearly upping the ante to accommodate the ever-growing population of electric vehicles hitting the road.
So, whether you’re embarking on a long journey or just love a day trip with ample treats, Buc-ee’s is making sure your EV can keep up with your sense of adventure. Isn’t it great when the magic of Buc-ee’s meets the future of travel? Stop by, charge up, and let those road trip dreams roll on!
