Electromobility is becoming increasingly attractive, especially in the commercial sector. But how economical is an electric van really? We have calculated the costs of a typical journey with the [ARI 1570](https://ari-motors.com/electrical-equipment-carrier) - and the results are impressive!

 

## How much does an average journey cost per day?

 

According to statistics, every German drives an average of 35 kilometers per day with their vehicle. But how expensive is that with an electric van like the ARI 1570?

 

- **Consumption:** 19.2 kWh/100 km

- **Assumed electricity price:** 27 cents/kWh

- **Cost per 100 km:** €5.18

- **Costs for 35 km:** only €1.81 per day



 

Compared to a diesel van, which consumes an average of around 8 liters per 100 km, the savings are obvious. At a diesel price of €1.80 per liter, the same distance would cost around €5.04 - almost three times as much as with the [ARI 1570](https://ari-motors.com/electrical-equipment-carrier).

 

## Why the ARI 1570 is the ideal choice

 

The [ARI 1570](https://ari-motors.com/electrical-equipment-carrier) is not only cost-efficient, but also versatile. With a payload of up to 1,500 kg, it is perfect for tradesmen, delivery services, construction companies and local authorities. Depending on requirements, it is available in various versions, including

 

- **Flatbed** for flexible transportation

- **Tipper** with loading area that can be tilted on three sides

- **Hook loader** for various types of containers

- **Waste collection vehicle** for cleaning services

 

## Up to 170 km range & fast charging times

 

The 20 kWh LiFePO4 battery already enables a range of 100 km, but if you need even more power, you can choose the optional 37 kWh battery and drive up to 170 km per charge. The optional quick-charging function also ensures that longer charging times are avoided.

 

## Electric mobility without hidden costs

 

A major advantage: with [ARI Motors](https://ari-motors.com/en), the battery is always included in the purchase price - no hidden leasing costs or monthly fees. This means you benefit from maximum planning security.

Affordable on the road: This is how much daily use with the ARI 1570 electric appliance carrier costs

The [ARI 901 XL](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-transporter/ari-901-xl-panel-van) is actually designed for last-mile deliveries - quiet, efficient and compact enough for tight city centers. But what happens when you take an electric van like this on longer journeys, such as across the country? Our long-distance test in winter provides the answers.

 

The [ARI 901 XL](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-transporter/ari-901-xl-panel-van) was put through its paces in frosty temperatures, on sections of highway and with a real load. The aim was to find out how far you can actually get on one battery charge - and whether fast charging is practical on the road.

 

## Start in sub-zero temperatures: Realistic conditions instead of laboratory values

 

At the start of the test, the battery was fully charged at the wallbox via type 2. The display showed a range of around 230 kilometers, which, as with all e-vehicles, adapts dynamically to the driving style, temperature and topography.

 

After just a few kilometers, it became clear that those who drive with foresight and use recuperation can noticeably save energy. The electric heating ran continuously and comfort was deliberately not sacrificed - a realistic scenario for everyday working life.

 

## Fast charging on the route: coffee instead of a refueling stop

 

After around 150 kilometers, we reached the first fast-charging station. The [ARI 901 XL](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-transporter/ari-901-xl-panel-van) charges with up to 45 kW via the CCS connection - enough to restore the battery to 80% in around 40 minutes. In practice, this is roughly equivalent to a coffee break or a short stopover at the customer's premises.

 

In the optimum charging range between 20% and 80%, the charging power remains constantly high, which clearly demonstrates the time advantage over conventional charging at the household socket.

 

## Consumption and range: realistic values in winter

 

On the freeway, at speeds of around 90 to 100 km/h, consumption hovered between 16 and 17 kWh per 100 kilometers. The test thus confirms that the official range specification of around 200 kilometers is realistic - even at low temperatures.

 

After just under 190 kilometers, the battery still had around 25 kilometers of range remaining - without an additional charging pause and without restricting comfort or speed. The [ARI 901 XL](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-transporter/ari-901-xl-panel-van) thus proves that electric mobility also works over longer distances.

 

## Comfort and space do not fall by the wayside

 

Despite its efficiency, the [ARI 901 XL](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-transporter/ari-901-xl-panel-van) remains a fully-fledged van. With a load volume of 6.4 m³, a loading length of up to 4.10 meters and a payload of over 1.3 tons, it is ideal for trade, courier services or service operations.

 

Its compact dimensions - 4.86 meters long and 1.99 meters high - also make it suitable for parking garages and everyday use in city traffic. The driving experience remains calm and stable even after hours on the highway, supported by the powerful 60 kW engine.

 

## Conclusion: everyday and long-distance suitability combined

 

The long-distance test in winter clearly shows that modern electric vans are no longer just city vehicles. The [ARI 901 XL](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-transporter/ari-901-xl-panel-van) combines a long range, short charging times and a large payload - with low fuel consumption and low operating costs.

 

So if you want to switch to electric mobility without sacrificing flexibility, the [ARI 901 XL](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-transporter/ari-901-xl-panel-van) is the ideal companion - for short journeys, long distances and everything in between.

ARI 901 XL long-distance test: How far can the electric van really go?

Drinking water straight from the tap is of the highest quality in Germany - but awareness of this often leaves a lot to be desired. This is precisely where a special vehicle from ARI Motors comes in: The ARI 458 with sales body and integrated tap system shows how electromobility, sustainability and creative public relations work together perfectly.

 

## Compact, electric and customizable

 

The ARI 458 electric van is one of the most versatile models from ARI Motors. At only around four meters long and 1.28 meters wide, it is extremely manoeuvrable and even fits into narrow city centres, exhibition halls or narrow alleyways. The all-electric drive ensures quiet, emission-free driving and can be conveniently recharged at any 230-volt socket in around five hours.

 

The vehicle on show has a size L sales body (1.49 m long, 1.25 m wide, 1.20 m high) and is specially designed for promotional and event use. Thanks to its straight body shape, it offers a particularly large usable area - ideal for technology, dispensing equipment or individual advertising.

 

## Sustainable idea: drinking water becomes sparkling water

 

The example project shown transforms simple tap water into refreshing sparkling water. With two integrated taps and a separate technical room, it demonstrates in an appealing way that drinking water from the tap is a sustainable and safe alternative to bottled mineral water.

 

Whether at city festivals, environmental fairs or campaign days - the "sparkling water mobile" based on the ARI 458 is a real eye-catcher. The three hinged sides of the superstructure create a covered stand in no time at all, offering protection from sun and rain. The sales stand is ready for use in just a few minutes.

 

## Customized for every industry

 

In addition to drinking water promotion, the sales stand can be used in a variety of ways:

 

- Gastronomy & events: as a mobile bar, mulled wine or coffee stand

- Municipalities & associations: for information and sustainability campaigns

- Companies & brands: as a promotional stand on wheels or sampling vehicle

 

Thanks to modular interior solutions, a robust technical room and optional counter, almost any idea can be realized - from serving drinks to product presentation.

 

## Driving comfort and equipment

 

Inside, the ARI 458 impresses with its clear design, functional technology and high practical relevance. A central display, radio, reversing camera and heating are just as much a part of the equipment as optional air conditioning and electric windows.

 

With a top speed of 78 km/h, the electric van is particularly suitable for short journeys, city trips and events. Four disc brakes, a compact turning circle and stable frame construction ensure safety and driving pleasure - even in confined spaces.

 

## Conclusion: Sustainable mobility with added value

 

The ARI 458 with sales body is much more than just an electric van. It is a tool, advertising space and ambassador all in one - ideal for companies, municipalities and organizations that want to make sustainability visible.

 

With its flexible equipment, low operating costs and the ability to implement individual concepts, the ARI 458 shows how modern electromobility can inspire in everyday life - quietly, cleanly and creatively.

Refreshed on the road with the ARI 458 sales set-up and dispenser - sustainable mobility meets drinking water promotion

The parcel and mail delivery industry has increasingly relied on electric mobility in recent years. Particularly in urban areas, vehicles like those of ARI Motors offer many advantages, as they do their work without diesel exhaust fumes and noise. The company ["Debex Potsdam"](https://www.debex-potsdam.de/) has therefore chosen the electric transporter [ARI 458 Box](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) to reliably support letter delivery in the urban area of Potsdam and at the same time fulfill the promise of CO2-neutral delivery.

 

At the end of the 1990s, the company saw the dissolution of the postal monopoly by the national "Deutsche Post" as an opportunity and applied directly for licenses to transport mail items commercially. At that time, older Volkswagens in the classic yellow postal design were used as delivery vehicles. By now, the vehicles of ["Debex Potsdam"](https://www.debex-potsdam.de/) are red and the company has been successfully transporting mail of all kinds for more than 20 years. The two founders Karsten Knaup and Hans-Joachim Hoffman are still managing directors today and are far from thinking of stopping.

 

Even the smallest version of the [ARI 458 Box](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) has a loading space of 1.32 meters x 1.16 meters x 0.95 meters (LxWxH), making it ideal for delivering mail in any form. For higher transport requirements, the box is available up to a size of 1.64 meters x 1.30 meters x 1.30 meters (LxWxH) as the [ARI 458 Box XL](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box). At ["Debex Potsdam"](https://www.debex-potsdam.de/), it thus forms the interface between muscle-powered delivery by bicycles and the large transporters with combustion engines.

 

In beautiful Potsdam, the bright red [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) is used primarily to transport the city administration's letters. According to Hans-Joachim Hoffman, the ARI electric transporter covers about 25 kilometers (ca. 16 miles) per day. At night, it goes to the headquarters in the famous Babelsberg district to recharge, so that it can perform its duties quietly and cleanly again the next day.
