The Florence SC and select newer stores also feature dual-network setups with up to 400 kW peak speeds.

Below is the complete breakdown of EV charging at every Buc-ee's, top locations for road trips, and how the network compares to Sheetz, Wawa, and Pilot Flying J.
Which Buc-ee's have Tesla Superchargers?
36 of Buc-ee's 58 locations feature Tesla Supercharger stalls, typically 12 to 24 stalls per location at up to 250 kW peak speed.

Which Buc-ee's have the best EV charging setup?
The Florence SC Buc-ee's has arguably the best EV setup on the East Coast: 16 Tesla Superchargers at 250 kW plus 10 additional multi-brand fast chargers capable of up to 400 kW peak. Newer mega-format stores like Sevierville TN, Mount Crawford VA, Springfield MO, Amarillo TX, and Katy TX also feature strong dual-network installations.
