For Drivers

Overview

The H2-Stations Map is a free, public tool that shows hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) across Europe. You can use it to find open stations near you, check real-time availability, and get directions, all from your browser, without creating an account.

Understanding Station Status

Each station on the map is represented by a colour-coded marker that shows its current refuelling status at a glance.

Marker Status Meaning
Green pump icon Available The station is open and hydrogen is available for refuelling.
Yellow wrench icon Limited availability The station is open but operating with reduced capacity or constraints.
Red ✗ icon Unavailable The station is currently not able to dispense hydrogen.
Blue ? icon Availability unknown The station has not reported its current status.
Grey clock icon Outside opening hours The station is currently closed based on its scheduled hours.
Grey crossed-pump icon Fuel type not provided This station does not offer the currently selected fuel type (for example 700 bar for car, 350 bar for car or 350 bar for truck).

Finding a Station

Searching by Name or Location

Press Ctrl+F to open the search bar. Type the name of a station to filter the map. Matching stations will be highlighted.

Filtering by Fuel Type

Use the fuel type filter to select which fuel type you are interested in: 700 bar for car, 350 bar for car, or 350 bar for truck. The map markers will update to reflect availability for the selected fuel type. Stations that do not offer the selected fuel type appear with a grey crossed-pump marker.

Use the location button to show your current location on the map. The map then shows the stations near you.

Resetting the View

Use the reset control to zoom the map out and show all stations at once.

  • A fuel type badge showing which fuel type the status applies to (700 bar for car, 350 bar for car, or 350 bar for truck).
  • A last update timestamp indicating when the status was last reported.

Address and Navigation

Upcoming Events

Station Pages

Added in portal 1.10.0 · 2 October 2026

Every public station also has its own page, in English and German. It shows the status of each fuelling option, the opening hours, upcoming events, contact details and the public stations within 30 km.

AI assistants can read these pages and the H2-Stations station list. If you ask an assistant whether a station is available, it can answer from the current H2-Stations data for your fuelling option.

Tips

  • Status updates automatically. The map refreshes station availability in the background.
  • Direct links work. If you share a URL that includes a station parameter (for example ?hrs=123), the map will open directly to that station's detail panel.
  • Availability unknown does not mean unavailable. A blue ? marker means the station has not sent a status report, but it may still be operational. Check the station's opening hours and contact details for confirmation.
