At some of St1’s stations, the fuel pumps are gone. In their place, high-power chargers now define the site, marking a shift from traditional refuelling to a new kind of energy station built around electric mobility.

Road transport is undergoing a major transformation as the number of fully electric vehicles continues to grow.

“We’ve been expanding our St1 Charge highpower charging network across the Nordics at a rapid pace during 2025. However, this is the first time that we have continued operations at a station without any liquid fuels,” says Juha Vanninen, Head of Retail Network at St1.

A historic site redesigned in Oslo

In April 2025, St1 officially opened its first completely fuel‑free service station at Marienlyst in Oslo. The site that has been in operation since 1960 now serves solely electric vehicle drivers.

The fully rebuilt station offers EV charging, a car wash and a convenience store. Located in one of Oslo’s busiest districts, the site was redesigned after planned municipal roadworks created an opportunity to rethink the traditional fuelling layout. The Marienlyst station reflects a broader shift in Norway, where approximately 30% of all cars are already fully electric.

St1’s first EV‑only station in Finland

A few months later, in August 2025, St1 opened its first EV‑only station in Finland, at Ylöjärvi. Fuel sales at the site ceased following environmental permit restrictions on distributing fossil fuels, prompting St1 to fully reconfigure the station for electric mobility.

The charging hub features ultra‑fast chargers with a maximum output of 400 kW, enabling highly efficient charging. As with Marienlyst, the on-site restaurant and car‑wash services continue, ensuring a seamless customer experience.

High-power charging across the Nordics

St1 is building a unified, future‑proof charging network that provides the rapidly increasing EV customer base with convenient, fast, and reliable charging options. The new EV-only stations are a part of the growing St1 Charge network. In total, St1 now has more than 180 charging sites across Finland, Sweden, and Norway.
