Supercharger - Wharton, TX

[Feathermerchan]

The 250 kW SC's decrease the charge time significantly.

8 stalls? sure to get filled up on many days. I get that 8 is better than 0, but still..

Yea that surprised me too, looks like it could easily be expanded though.

I'm presupposing that that they are using traffic/usage to figure out how many to install.
Both Waller and New Braunfels got way more stalls, so that aren't afraid to go big

It could be that the electric capacity at that location is limited.

This US 59 route/partially Interstate 69 south of Houston southbound en route to Victoria/Corpus Christi/Laredo is not that well travelled. The nearest Superchargers in Victoria and Richmond along the route rarely have I seem more than 1 or 2 others charging there. It's a excellent location as well.

I noticed the Wharton supercharger in my Tesla navigation map today! Cool!

Having charged here, and scoping out the original build, it should be an easy expansion. Plenty of room along the back lot and iirc power pole back there as well.

Edit: lol realized I said the same thing above

Yes this is an unusual "rear of store" location for Buc-ee's. It would seem most likely to put in more on that back side. Nice to be able to avoid the front gas pump traffic.

 

[AudreyHTX1]

Yeah. It’s a long walk to the bathroom as you have to walk way around to the front of the building, but it’s really nice being away from the fuel pump traffic.

I'll be passing this Bucee's tomorrow, twice actually. If we are ahead of schedule I'll try and swing by and see if there is any progress on the expansion.

 

[byeLT4]

It always amazes me how busy Bucee's can be. Nothing started yet in relation to the expansion.

 

[get-atty]

Perhaps my favorite Supercharger location - easy to access - never crowded - with all the Buc-ee's conveniences with fewer crowds

(it's a smaller store by Buc-ee's Texas sized measure).

A nice view this Easter morning.
