Buc-ees is the perfect place for chargers

 

how many chargers would you need to match the efficiency of moving in and out gas cars when filling up? 12-1 ratio? Buckys is a niche place as well.

but yes…I’d assume they already have chargers

 

12-1? maybe 3:1. gas filling is what, 5 minutes? ev charging is typically 10-20 minutes with DC.
and at buc-ees i bet the average gas car customer spends 20-30 minutes. so it's a no brainer for ev charging as well. 1:1.

what does that even mean? and it's buc-ees.

 

I still do not see the business case (other than in some niche locations) Roll up, plug in and go inside and 10/15 or 20 minutes later emerge…you need A LOT of chargers. The largest buc-ees has 100 pumps…so we talking 300-400 chargers here? Sure it is possible, but it would be a niche thing.

I will say, what would be a really great idea is if you can make a reservation to a charger. So pay a fee, and that charger only is available for you at let’s say 3 PM. That would be a great idea.

I was using voice control. Didn’t check.

 

By farrrrrrrrrrrrr the most concentrated area of chargers probably in a 200 mile radius, ours in Sevierville is. Pretty neat.

Nothing even CLOSE to that in the whole city here.

 

Does it come close or have more chargers than this?

 

Yes, it's larger than that.

 

Looks like it has 24 chargers

Just to let you know, there is another row of chargers behind me. What about this:



They have since expanded it to over 100 chargers

 

There are 120 charger ports at the I-40 Sevierville Bucees I believe.

 

Well, that's a lot of chargers

 

Take that! Hehe.

 

The supercharger under construction on I5 near Bakersfield will have 164 chargers and will reportedly be the largest in the world.

 

I think ours right now is currently the largest in the nation, or one of the top.

I don't have any pics but the line of them is insane, it's just one long continuous line, not chopped up like in the pics of other places.

 

you missed my point entirely. people filling with GAS are still likely to leave their cars at the pump for 20-30 minutes when they go into the giant on-site store for fresh bbq and many other goodies, plus bathrooms, etc.

so in that scenario, chargers only need the same amount of time as gas pumps.

i meant what did you mean buc-ee's is 'a niche place'?
