Counted, not estimated

Across the 3 cities Refuelia maps in Sweden, 989 stations and chargers are counted from OpenStreetMap. More charging points than fuel stations are mapped: 62% EV to 38% fuel. This is not a national total; it is what has actually been counted, and it says when.

What the names on a Swedish pump mean

Bensin 95 (E10)
Unleaded 95 with up to 10% ethanol, the standard petrol since 1 August 2021. A car that is not approved for E10 should always use E5 instead, which in practice usually means 98.
Bensin 98
Unleaded 98, the usual E5 choice for a car that cannot take E10.
Diesel
Road diesel, with a biofuel share set by the reduction obligation described below.
HVO100
Renewable paraffinic diesel, sold at many stations. Only for engines whose maker has approved it.
E85, fordonsgas
High-ethanol fuel for flex-fuel cars, and vehicle gas (biogas and natural gas, priced per kilogram) for cars built to use it.

Why Swedish diesel changed

Sweden’s reduction obligation, reduktionsplikten, makes suppliers cut the greenhouse gas emissions of petrol and diesel by blending in biofuel. On 1 January 2024 it was lowered from 7.8% to 6% for petrol and from 30.5% to 6% for diesel, because pump prices were high; it was raised again to 10% from 1 July 2025.

How a Swedish price is set

The Swedish Competition Authority found that the chains set a recommended price centrally, with Circle K as the price leader for several years and the others following within about an hour on average. Individual stations then go below it to meet local competition. Unmanned stations are usually a few tens of öre a litre cheaper than staffed ones, and four companies, Circle K and Ingo, OKQ8, Preem and St1, hold about three-quarters of the market.

How Sweden compares with the other 26 EU countries, week by week: fuel prices in Europe this week. The symbols on the nozzles are explained in what the labels on a fuel pump mean, and the tax gaps between neighbours in why fuel costs different across borders.

Cities in Sweden

Places our saved map of Sweden already holds, each with its own list of stations. What follows a city name is the kinds of place in the box around its centre — not a count, because the figure above this list is counted live for the whole country and the two would be measuring different things.

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.
