Buc-ee's, Mercedes-Benz partner to redefine the EV charging experience
Published on: Nov 9, 2023
The mobility company is set to charging hubs across the travel center chain’s network to expand charging infrastructure nationwide.
Buc-ee’s has partnered with Mercedes-Benz HPC North America to launch the mobility company’s network of premium electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across North America. The strategic agreement is set to create a national charging network that redefines convenience and quality for drivers across the country.
Mercedes-Benz will build charging hubs at most Buc-ee’s existing travel centers, starting with about 30 by the end of 2024. Work has already begun on charging facilities at several of the brand’s locations across the country, with some to be open by the end of this year.
Buc-ee’s started its multi-state expansion in 2019 and has already opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
“Buc-ee’s values people and partnerships. Our new collaboration with Mercedes-Benz HPC North America will continue our traditions of elevated customer convenience and excellent service that have won the hearts, trust and business of millions in the South for more than 40 years,” said Jeff Nadalo, General Counsel of Buc-ee’s.
Buc-ee’s travel centers provide value to EV drivers through their strategic placement in addition to high-quality amenities like freshly prepared food and beverages, souvenirs, friendly service, and rest facilities. The collaboration enables Mercedes-Benz HPC NA to seamlessly integrate sustainable charging, using 100% renewable energy, into the background of EV drivers' lives.
