Description
The Alternative Fueling Station Locator app helps you find fueling stations that offer electricity, natural gas, biodiesel, E85, propane, or hydrogen.
Use your current location or enter a custom location to find the 20 closest stations within a 30-mile radius. View the stations on a map or see a list of stations ordered by distance from your location. Select your alternative fuel of choice and adjust the custom filters to fit your needs.
Select a station from the map or list to view contact info and other details:
- address, phone number, and hours of operation
- payment types accepted
- public or private access
- special services
- compression (natural gas)
- vehicle size access (natural gas)
- number and types of chargers (electric)
- blends available (biodiesel)
- blender pumps (ethanol)
The app draws information from the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center, which houses the most comprehensive, up-to-date database of alternative fueling stations in the United States. The database contains location information for more than 15,000 alternative fueling stations throughout the country.

Ratings and Reviews
The best way to find hydrogen stations
This this app is the best way to find hydrogen stations of all the apps that are out there now. The best part is you can easily get directions to the stations with two clicks. The one thing the app is missing is the actual station information in terms of how much hydrogen is available on a per station basis. If the app developers could include SOSS information on a per station basis it would blow all the other apps out of the water. It would also take an incredible amount of frustration away from obtaining SOSS information from the California Fuel Cell Partnership’s invaluable but cumbersome station information form because it’s browser only. Kudos to the programmers. This is an incredibly well written app.
So helpful
I’m done using google maps to find me my diesel pumps when I’m out and about in an area I don’t know. I was low on fuel, trying to find a diesel pump somewhere, and having no luck at all. I pulled over and I found this outdated looking application from the iPhone 3G days. Luckily, this app works like a banger! Sees your current location and links up to Apple Maps (make an option for google maps) for directions to the gas station! BOOM! Easy and done! Select your fuel and drive to the nearest location via what the apps tells ya to!
Updated Needed for Renewable Diesel
While the app generally does a fine job of listing stations that uses alternative fuel, my concern is that there is no such option for renewable diesel (R20 or R99), as well as whether the app can keep up to date on availability of renewable diesel fuel sources in addition to E85. Furthermore, there needs to be updated data as to which stations can accommodate Class 8 trucks. Moreover, there are no alternative fuel stations (especially E85 and renewable diesel, both R20 and R99) to fuel up trucks within the state of California that hugs the border with Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and down south to Mexico. Until there’s a major update to the app involving renewable diesel, it’s best to stick with the website. (The website itself also looks outdated.)
