strömbenziner

Strömbenziner is a Swedish term used to refer to a gas station. It is a combination of the words "ström", meaning "stream" or "flow", and "benzin", meaning "gasoline". The term essentially means "electricity-powered gas station".

Strömbenziner gas stations are primarily found in Sweden and are typically distinguishable by the electric vehicle charging points they offer. Many Strömbenziner stations have multiple fueling stations, including those for gasoline, diesel, and biofuels, as well as electric vehicle (EV) charging points.

Some Strömbenziner locations are designed to maximize the efficiency of fueling and charging, often having multiple lanes for EVs, as well as designated parking spots for EV users. Many Strömbenziner stations also offer convenience store services, as well as laundry and wash facilities for larger vehicles like buses and trucks.

The number of electric vehicle charging points at Strömbenziner stations can vary greatly, but they still account for a large proportion of EV charging in Sweden. The Strömbenziner network serves as a key infrastructure for supporting widespread adoption of electric vehicles across the country.

Incidentally, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles has led to a number of Strömbenziner stations to change their business model and primarily focus on electric vehicle charging. Some Strömbenziner stations now refer to themselves as "Power Stations" and no longer serve the typical gas station function.
