Wellington's forecourts, Z Energy (headquartered here), BP, Mobil and discounters Gull and Waitomo, cluster along SH1/SH2 and the harbour arterials, with hill suburbs largely stationless. Wind and hills raise consumption. The capital's EV uptake is high, with chargers at the waterfront and park-and-rides.
Local tips
- Hill suburbs have no stations. Fill on SH1/SH2 or the Hutt Road strip.
- Discounters (Gull Petone, Waitomo) beat CBD-adjacent prices clearly.
- Ferry crossings: fill before boarding; South Island prices differ, and Picton's options are few.
Wellington has more charging points mapped than fuel stations, 67 against 54. That is still rare, and it makes this an easy place to arrive on a low battery. See Wellington on the map →
