Yes. Every ARI Motors electric transport vehicle with a box body can be equipped with 300 watt solar panels. The solar panels will be installed on the roof of the box body and provide (during sunshine) the battery directly with solar-powered electricity. This works while driving as well as while standing.

![ARI 458 Kofferaufbau mit Solarpanel](https://storage.googleapis.com/ari-motors-2-uploads/ARI_458_Kofferaufbau_mit_Solarpanel_0883cc510f/ARI_458_Kofferaufbau_mit_Solarpanel_0883cc510f.jpg)

Via the solar panels the range can be extended up to 30 km during strong sunlight. Therefor, the driver always has a “spare can” that supports the vehicle with energy. Consequently, if the daily driving route is not longer than 20 to 30 km (12 to 19 mi.), the ARI 458 electric transport vehicle can be driven with solar energy for free. If the route is longer, the solar panels are a permanent support and can compensate for example the use of the optional air conditioning and thereby keeping a steady range.

Our customer “Andys Getränkequell” from 82152 Krailing is using his ARI 458 Pickup with tarpaulin structure not only to transport beverages in and around Munich, but also to bring ale-benches and beer tables to customers, festivals and birthday parties. Now he use the smart and flexible ARI electric transport vehicle that is equipped with a split tailgate to also transport longer tables and benches.

 

The tarpaulin structure that is in use has a length of 170 cm, a height of 120 cm and a width of 130 cm. Consequently, the cargo space has a capacity of 2,6 m³. Additionally, a wind deflector was installed over the driver’s cab that does not only supports the dynamic appearance but also decreases the air drag.

 

With this version of the ARI electric transport vehicle a cargo load of 450 kg can be transported to the customer. With its standard SLA-battery the range amounts to 120 km (75 mi.), while its top speed is 80 km/h. And like all our vehicles, this ARI 458 electric transport vehicle is fully charged within 5 to 6 hours on a customary domestic socket without the need of a seperate wallbox.

The bakery "Bäckerei Hafendörfer" in Stuttgart shows that tradition and progress are by no means mutually exclusive. The family business, which has been in business for over 120 years, has opted for an [ARI 458 Box XL](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) with a roller door in the box body as the electric bakery vehicle. In this way, the daily baked goods and confectionery goods can be transported from the bakery to the company's five stores in Stuttgart or directly to the customer.

 

The brothers Falk and Dirk Hafendörfer chose the manoeuvrable [ARI 458 Box XL](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) to be able to make deliveries in the narrow streets of downtown Stuttgart without any problems. The box body is 1.64 meters long, 1.30 meters wide and 1.30 meters high. Consequently, a loading volume of up to 2.8 m³ is possible and a lot of rolls and cakes fit in the ARI. Thanks to the side roller doors in the box body, loading and unloading is quick and easy, so that the goods always arrive fresh at their destination.

 

The [ARI 458 Box XL](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) replaces a Piaggio Porter and is already the fourth electric vehicle of the family business. Two street scooters named (roughly translated) “Particle Accelerator” and “Racing Bun” are available for large deliveries. The versatile and practical [ARI 458 light electric van](/en/light-electric-vans) was given the name "Krümmelchen", a diminutive of the German word for “crumble”. According to owner Falk Hafendörfer, the vehicles particularly popular with children. And so "Krümmelchen" travels around 30 kilometres a day in the narrow inner-city streets of Stuttgart to distribute freshly baked goods in the city.

 

Perhaps the cute [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) reminds Herr Hafendörfer of his first car: a 1957 BMW Isetta in vineyard red, which he still owns. In any case, we wish the "Bäckerei Hafendörfer" always a safe journey, happy baking and that the tradition of electromobile progress lives on.

Depending on how empty the battery was, it takes about 6-8 hours to charge the [electric transporter ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) and the [ARI passenger vehicles](/en/electric-cars) as well as about 6-8 hours at a normal 230 volt household socket. With the LiFePO4 battery, a quick charging function is also available for these vehicles, which significantly shortens the charging time. The charging time of the large [electric transporter ARI 901] (/en/electric-transport-vehicle) is also around 6-8 hours, depending on the battery level. A quick charge function is also available for this vehicle, which roughly halves the charging time.

 

The [cargo moped ARI 145] (/en/cargo-mopeds/ari-145) is charged in 3-4 hours, depending on the battery level, the [cargo trike ARI 345 Box] (/en/cargo-mopeds/ari-345/box) in about 4-5 hours. For cost reasons, no quick charge function is available for these models.

 

All ARI Motors electric vehicles are also available with solar panels, which fill up with solar energy even when the vehicle is stationary and thus extend the range without power supply. Many customers also use the lunch break, for example, to briefly "top up" with electricity. The fact that you don't need a separate charging box, but can charge it at any standard socket, helps immensely.
