JAKARTA - Mercedes-Benz announced a new partnership with Buc-ee's, which is known to operate various multi-purpose stores in North America, to build electric vehicle charging.

Quoted from the Electrek page, Friday, November 10, this partnership is part of Mercedes' vision to develop an electric vehicle charging network across North America.

The location of Buc-ee is on major travel routes in South and Southeast, which will play an important role in the adoption of electric vehicles in America.

The proof, although the Southeast region lags behind other countries in terms of sales of electric vehicles, implementation costs, and funding, this region absorbs most of the electric vehicle investment. To date, about 40 percent of manufacturing investment will be diverted to the region.

This premium car brand has started to make the charging, and will operate from the end of the year. It even plans to start with about 30 charging by the end of 2024.

Mercedes also plans to deploy 400 charging stations and more than 2,500 chargers across North America by 2030.

As is known, Buc-ee has been expanding in various regions, such as Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee since 2019.
