Charging at Buccees in Temple?

[electruck]

Anyone charged in Temple? Rivian app shows M-B Charging network at Buccees but don't see it in PlugShare. Is this the brand new ChargePoint station with M-B co-brand?

It’s showing up as chargepoint in PlugShare now.

Hype!

Edit - the picture in the app confirms it’s a Mercedes Benz / chargepoint charger

Charged here on my way south on Friday and again on my way back north yesterday. Great 400 kW ChargePoint chargers at a great location (was also my first ever Buccees visit). Would have been a perfect charging experience if only Rivian supported plug and charge on that network, but just tapped my phone and plugged in and the charge initiated right away and quickly ramped up to a peak of 218 kW. Spent more time in Buccees than I needed for charging.

If I remember correctly, there are 48 Tesla SCs at that site. Maybe next time I'm down that way, I'll have my adapter and can try that out.

Buc-Ees are some of the best places to charge. Get the cookie dough when you stop...

The Teslas there all have magic docks and the MB chargers seem to always have some work being done - but the charge curve on the MB chargers/thermal management is wayyy better.
