Buc-ee's EV Charging: Locations, Chargers & What EV Drivers Should Know
Buc-ee's EV charging is available at select locations, giving electric-vehicle drivers another option for taking a charging break during a highway trip. Use the map below to find every Buc-ee's with EV chargers, then verify the station before you arrive.
Buc-ee's Locations With EV Charging
Every Buc-ee's store currently listed with EV charging as an amenity. Tap any card to see it on the map above or open directions.
Does Buc-ee's Have EV Charging?
Yes. Buc-ee's offers electric vehicle charging at select travel centers.
However, not every Buc-ee's location has EV chargers. The availability of charging equipment is location-specific, so you should not assume that a Buc-ee's with a large fuel area also has an electric vehicle charging station.
This distinction matters when planning an EV road trip. A gasoline vehicle can generally use any Buc-ee's fuel pump that serves its fuel type, while an EV needs a compatible charging station.
Before leaving, check:
- The specific Buc-ee's location
- Whether EV charging is listed
- The charging network
- Connector compatibility
- Charger power
- Current station status
- Whether the charger is open to your vehicle
For the most reliable trip planning, use the individual location information together with the charging network's current station listing.
Where Can You Find EV Chargers at Buc-ee's?
EV charging is available at selected Buc-ee's locations across the chain rather than at every store.
The most useful way to find one is to search by Buc-ee's location rather than searching for Buc-ee's as though the entire chain has one common charging system.
Our location directory lets you browse Buc-ee's stores and identify locations where EV charging is listed as an amenity.
Buc-ee's EV charging locations can change
The charging network is not static. New charging stations can be added, existing equipment can be upgraded, and individual chargers can temporarily become unavailable.
For that reason, a list of charging locations should be treated as a planning resource rather than a guarantee that every stall will be available when you arrive.
If you are planning a long trip, check the charger shortly before departure and again as you approach the location.
What Type of EV Chargers Does Buc-ee's Have?
There isn't one single charger specification across every Buc-ee's location.
Depending on the store and charging network, an EV driver may encounter DC fast charging, including Tesla Superchargers and other high-power charging equipment.
The exact:
- Charging network
- Number of stalls
- Connector type
- Maximum power
- Vehicle compatibility
- Pricing
- Availability
can vary by location.
For example, Tesla's current listings show different Buc-ee's Supercharger installations with different capacities. The Temple, Texas Buc-ee's is listed with 68 Superchargers capable of up to 325 kW, while the Denton, Texas location is listed with 8 Superchargers capable of up to 250 kW. Both are listed as available 24/7, and both currently show support for other EVs.
That difference is exactly why EV drivers should check the individual station rather than relying on a chain-wide charging specification.
Are Buc-ee's EV Chargers Fast Chargers?
Many Buc-ee's charging sites use DC fast charging, which is designed for highway travel rather than the slower charging typically associated with overnight or workplace charging.
DC fast charging sends direct current to the vehicle's battery and can add a substantial amount of range during a road-trip stop.
Actual charging speed depends on much more than the number printed on the charger.
Your vehicle's:
- Battery state of charge
- Battery temperature
- Maximum DC charging rate
- Battery chemistry
- Charging curve
- Current station load
can all affect how quickly the vehicle charges.
So a 250 kW or 325 kW charger does not mean every EV will continuously receive that power.
The vehicle determines how much power it can accept, while the charging equipment provides power within its operating limits.
Can Tesla Vehicles Charge at Buc-ee's?
Yes, Tesla Superchargers are available at some Buc-ee's locations.
Tesla's current Supercharger listings include multiple Buc-ee's sites. For example, Tesla lists Buc-ee's locations in Temple, Denton, Terrell, Amarillo, Pearland, Hillsboro, Ennis, New Braunfels and Royse City, among others.
The exact number of stalls and maximum charging power differs by location.
If you drive a Tesla, check the Tesla charging location in the app before heading to the Buc-ee's you have selected.
Can Non-Tesla EVs Charge at Buc-ee's?
At some Buc-ee's locations, yes.
Tesla's current station listings identify certain Buc-ee's Supercharger sites as open to other EVs, and some locations specify that an adapter is included for compatible non-Tesla vehicles.
But this should be checked station by station.
Do not assume that because one Buc-ee's Supercharger supports another EV brand, every Buc-ee's Supercharger does the same thing.
Before traveling, confirm:
- Your vehicle is supported.
- The connector or adapter is compatible.
- The specific station is open to your vehicle.
- The station is currently operational.
- The charging network's app shows the station as available.
This is especially important for road trips where the next convenient charging stop may be many miles away.
What Connectors Are Used at Buc-ee's EV Chargers?
Connector compatibility depends on the charging equipment installed at the individual location.
Tesla Supercharger sites may use the NACS connector, while other charging installations can use different connector standards.
Your vehicle and the specific charging station need to be compatible.
If you drive a non-Tesla EV, don't simply search for "Buc-ee's charger." Check the actual station details for the connector your vehicle requires.
The safest approach is to verify the connector in the charging network's current listing before you begin the trip.
How Fast Can an EV Charge at Buc-ee's?
Charging speed varies significantly between locations and vehicles.
Current Tesla listings demonstrate this variation. Buc-ee's Supercharger sites can have different maximum power ratings, including examples of up to 250 kW and 325 kW.
But maximum station output should not be confused with the charging speed your vehicle will actually receive.
For example, an EV that can accept only 150 kW cannot charge at 325 kW simply because the station is capable of it.
Likewise, charging usually slows as the battery approaches a high state of charge. This means the most efficient road-trip strategy is often to charge only as much as you need to comfortably reach your next planned stop rather than automatically waiting for a full battery.
How Long Does EV Charging Take at Buc-ee's?
There is no single charging time that applies to every Buc-ee's visit.
Charging time depends on:
- Your EV model
- Battery size
- Starting state of charge
- Charger power
- Charging curve
- Battery temperature
- Station conditions
- Desired ending state of charge
A driver arriving with a low battery and leaving at a moderate charge level will have a different experience from someone trying to reach 100%.
For road trips, consider the charging stop as part of your overall break. Buc-ee's can give you an opportunity to use the restroom, get food, stretch your legs, and shop while the vehicle charges.
Are Buc-ee's EV Chargers Available 24 Hours?
Buc-ee's stores are open 24 hours, but the most useful question for EV drivers is whether the specific charging station is accessible at the time they need it.
Tesla currently lists several Buc-ee's Supercharger locations as available 24/7. For example, its Temple, Denton, Terrell and New Braunfels listings show 24/7 access.
Still, 24/7 access does not mean every charging stall will always be available.
A station can have:
- Occupied stalls
- Temporary faults
- Maintenance
- Network issues
- Individual chargers out of service
Check the live station information before relying on a particular charger.
How Much Does It Cost to Charge at Buc-ee's?
There is no single Buc-ee's-wide EV charging price.
Charging prices can depend on the charging network, location, vehicle, membership status, and current pricing rules.
This is another area where generic "Buc-ee's charging costs X dollars" claims can become outdated quickly.
Before plugging in, check the charging network's current pricing for the exact station you intend to use.
This is particularly important for road trips because the price shown by one network or location may not apply to another Buc-ee's.
Do You Need an App to Charge an EV at Buc-ee's?
It depends on the charging network and station.
Some charging networks provide their own mobile applications for finding stations, checking availability, starting a charging session, and reviewing pricing.
Tesla Superchargers can be checked through Tesla's charging system, while other networks may use their own applications or payment methods.
Before starting a long trip, it is worth having the relevant charging app set up rather than waiting until you are parked in front of the charger.
How to Find a Buc-ee's With EV Charging
The easiest way is to start with the specific Buc-ee's location you want to use.
- Find a Buc-ee's along your route. Search the Buc-ee's location directory by state, city, or route.
- Check for EV charging. Look at the amenities for that individual location.
- Open the charging network listing. Use the relevant charging network to verify the station's current information.
- Check connector compatibility. Make sure the charger works with your EV.
- Check live availability. A listed station does not necessarily mean that a stall is free.
- Keep a backup stop. For a long-distance trip, identify another compatible fast charger within a comfortable range.
This last step is easy to overlook. If your planned charging stop is busy or temporarily unavailable, having a backup can prevent an unnecessary detour.
Buc-ee's EV Charging for Road Trips
Buc-ee's can be particularly convenient for EV drivers because a charging stop can combine several travel needs.
Instead of stopping only to charge, you can potentially:
- Use the restrooms
- Buy food
- Pick up drinks
- Take a break from driving
- Stretch your legs
- Shop for road-trip supplies
- Charge your vehicle
That makes the location useful as a multi-purpose road-trip stop.
However, you should still plan around your vehicle's range rather than assuming the next Buc-ee's will always have an available charger.
For longer journeys, identify charging locations before departure and consider traffic, weather, terrain, and your vehicle's expected energy consumption.
What EV Drivers Should Check Before Leaving
A five-minute charging check can save a lot of frustration during a long trip. Before leaving, confirm:
- Location — is it on your route?
- Charger availability — is EV charging listed?
- Connector — plug or adapter works?
- Charging network — who operates it?
- Power rating — advertised max power?
- Live status — stalls available?
- Pricing — current rate?
- Backup charger — another fast charger in range?
Buc-ee's EV Charging vs. a Dedicated Charging Stop
A Buc-ee's charging stop can be convenient because charging is combined with food, restrooms and other travel services.
A dedicated EV charging plaza, however, may offer a different experience depending on the route and network.
When choosing between them, think about what your trip actually requires.
If you need to charge while taking a meal or restroom break, a Buc-ee's location may fit naturally into your itinerary.
If you only need a very short charging session and another station is directly on your route, the closest compatible charger may make more sense.
The important factor is not simply the brand name. Look at location, compatibility, power, availability and your vehicle's range.
Why Charger Information Can Change
EV charging infrastructure is developing quickly.
A Buc-ee's location that does not have a charger today may receive one later. A station can also be upgraded with additional stalls or different charging capabilities.
At the same time, individual charging equipment can temporarily become unavailable.
This is why we recommend treating EV charging information as location-specific and time-sensitive.
