Counted from OpenStreetMap on 27 August 2026 inside a box 15 km either side of the city centre — not the administrative city, which on a large one reaches well past that. These are counts of what drivers have mapped, not a survey of the city: a station that sells diesel but carries no diesel tag is not in the diesel number. If something is missing, open the map and it can be fixed.

Cologne's dense network of Aral, Shell, Esso, TotalEnergies and budget JET and STAR stations spreads along the city ring and the A1/A3/A4 motorway box. German fuel prices swing several cents within a single day, so timing matters. EV charging is extensive, with rapid hubs at retail locations and along the Rhine corridor motorways.

Local tips

  • Prices typically dip in the evening (around 18:00–22:00). Avoid filling in the morning peak.
  • JET and STAR stations usually undercut Aral and Shell by a few cents per litre.
  • Cologne's Umweltzone requires a green emissions sticker for the city centre.

Cologne has more charging points mapped than fuel stations, 789 against 244. That is still rare, and it makes this an easy place to arrive on a low battery. See Cologne on the map →

Open the map and see what is actually there

Looking costs nothing and needs no account. Any status a driver confirms carries the time it was made; where nobody has, the map says that instead of guessing, so you can decide for yourself how much to trust it.

Why Refuelia

The only honest map of fuel & EV — worldwide

Where there’s really fuel and a really working charger, right now. Prices come from drivers — someone types in what they actually paid, so it is real, timestamped, and missing until somebody posts it. We never invent a number. Fuel and EV together, worldwide, free.

What a pin can say

Fuel available
a driver confirmed it, and the card says when
Limited fuel
some grades out, or a queue at the pump
No fuel
somebody stood there and told us
Open by its timetable
the posted hours say open. Nobody has checked
No fresh report
and the map says so, rather than guessing

Every other map draws the first one and stops. The last two are the point: when nobody has checked, this map says nobody has checked, instead of guessing green.
