Counted, not estimated

Across the 4 cities Refuelia maps in South Africa, 1,235 stations and chargers are counted from OpenStreetMap. Roughly 100% of what is mapped is fuel and 0% is EV charging. This is not a national total; it is what has actually been counted, and it says when.

South Africa is covered by Refuelia the same way as everywhere else: the map loads real fuel stations and EV chargers from OpenStreetMap for any area you search across South Africa, and lets any driver confirm a station in one tap, so a pin can say when it was last checked instead of only where it is.

Fuel in South Africa

Across Africa the fuel itself is rarely the question; petrol and diesel are the mainstays. The question is the gap between stations, which widens as soon as you leave the larger centres.

EV charging in South Africa

EV coverage across much of Africa is thin and city-centred. Plan around the distance rather than the connector: where chargers exist they are usually CCS or Type 2.

Prices are added when reported by drivers or verified sources, always with a timestamp. Refuelia never shows invented numbers: where data isn't available yet, it says so. See South Africa on the map →

Find fuel and charging near you, in seconds

Finding fuel needs no account. Confirming that a station has fuel, or that a charger works, is one tap and stays anonymous. Posting a price, a comment or opening hours needs a free Google sign-in — that is what puts a real, named person behind the figure.
