The short answer

Several suppliers at DUS rent electric cars such as the Tesla Model 3, VW ID.3/ID.4, BMW i4 or Polestar 2. Germany has a dense fast-charging network along the motorways, and the airport car parks offer charging points. Ask at the desk which charging card is included and what charge level you must return the car with.

Who it suits

  • City and regional trips in the Rhine-Ruhr area
  • Business travellers with predictable routes
  • Drivers who want a quiet, automatic car

Range and charging in practice

Expect 300–450 km of real-world range in summer and 20–30% less in winter or at sustained Autobahn speeds. DC fast chargers on the A3, A1 and A2 can add 200 km in about 20–30 minutes. Plugs are Type 2 (AC) and CCS (DC).

Charging costs vary by operator and payment method; ad-hoc card payment is widely available at fast chargers.

Returning an electric car

Most suppliers ask for a minimum charge level (often 70–80%) or charge a recharging fee. Top up at a fast charger near the airport or in the airport car parks before you head to the rental return.

Our tips

Install a charging app before you land and add a payment method.

Check the cross-border rules – some suppliers restrict EVs abroad.
