Border controls seems not to be so intense in 2022 but significant roadworks have been done in the country and it's worth indicating that some wiki pages might give outdated information.
Trafikverket distributes a map of service stations (rastplatser) in Sweden. The map shows where the service stations are and what services are offered (usually toilets but sometimes food, petrol or playgrounds as well.
