Dortmund, in the heart of the Ruhr, has one of Germany's densest station networks; Aral (born in nearby Bochum), Shell, Esso, JET and Westfalen brands line the B1/A40 corridor and the A45. Prices change several times daily, and budget brands reliably undercut the majors. EV fast charging is widespread at retail parks and along the Ruhr motorways.
Local tips
- JET and Westfalen sites are consistently cheaper than Aral and Shell in the Ruhr area.
- Fill in the evening; German prices usually peak in the morning and dip after 18:00.
- The B1/A40 corridor has the biggest choice of stations across the metro area.
Dortmund has more charging points mapped than fuel stations, 625 against 240. That is still rare, and it makes this an easy place to arrive on a low battery. See Dortmund on the map →
