Yep, imagine an EV version of Buc-ees, replacing 100 gas pumps with superchargers... keeping the Walmart-sized snack-shop:

Yeah, buc-ees makes for a great charging stop. Just wish the walk from the chargers wasn't quite so long.
Surprised they don't have a Disneyland-like parking lot tram.
It'd be useful for the one in Leeds, AL. The walk is huge and the temps are usually terrible.
Ok, this is the furthest I've even seen for a charger at a Bucees. It's ~450ft. About a 90 second walk.
This is so American. It's like 200ft from the chargers to the store entrance...
