Edinburgh drivers fill up at BP, Shell, Esso and supermarket forecourts from Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, mostly along the A720 city bypass and the main arterial roads. Central Edinburgh has few large stations, so plan a stop near the bypass. EV charging is expanding through ChargePlace Scotland plus rapid hubs at supermarkets and retail parks.
Local tips
- Stations inside the city centre are scarce; the A720 bypass ring is where most of the choice is.
- Asda and Morrisons sites in the suburbs usually offer the lowest petrol and diesel prices.
- Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone covers the city centre. Check if an older diesel is compliant.
Edinburgh has more charging points mapped than fuel stations, 199 against 62. That is still rare, and it makes this an easy place to arrive on a low battery. See Edinburgh on the map →
Plan your stop
In Edinburgh the filters that actually narrow things down are diesel (8), LPG (2) and CCS charging (15). Travelling at night, switch on "open now": 23 places are tagged 24/7. When you arrive, a quick confirmation keeps the map right for the next driver in Edinburgh.
