Ist der Akku Im Fahrzeugpreis Inbegriffen

Is The Battery Included In The Price Of The Vehicle?

Having already introduced Vinzenz Fliri, our Italian customer, this time we want to travel even further to the southwestern tip of Europe. In Portugal, an [ARI 458 Pickup L](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/pickup) with a 3-piece lattice box has found a new home. Owner Ulrich Gruetter opted for the vehicle because he was impressed by the "ideal mix of price, loading space, load weight, performance, range and top speed" and even after a long search, no comparable offer could be found. In addition, the vehicle looks smart and would evoke positive reactions from visitors.

 

The [ARI 458 Pickup L](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/pickup) is used for transporting firewood, building materials, garden materials such as humus and compost as well as for fruit and olive harvesting. The vehicle also covers the daily short trips for shopping, covering around 50 to 100 kilometres per week. It does not completely replace a combustion vehicle, but takes over the short-distance tasks of a Skoda Roomster and should thus extend the life of the vehicle. Furthermore, with its open loading area, it is simply better suited for transporting most materials.

 

Thanks to Mr. Gruetter, the first [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) has now made it to the Atlantic. More will surely follow. But even if you don't live in the most south-western corner of Europe, you should be interested in our electric vehicles. For this reason:

Sustainability has many facets. In addition to electromobility - as represented by ARI Motors - an important one concerns food and its distribution. Because in Germany several tons of perfect food are destroyed every day, while many economically disadvantaged people experience a shortage. This is where the nationwide "Tafel'' associations come in, which collect excess food and distribute it unbureaucratically to people who are financially weaker.

 

The “Tafel Drensteinfurt e.V” in Drensteinfurt in North Rhine-Westphalia was founded in 2017 on the initiative of Rudi Naerger and has been supporting socially and economically disadvantaged residents of the region ever since. When a vehicle for transporting the goods was to be purchased in 2019, the [ARI 458 Box L](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) with cooling unit (by now available as Cooling Van (/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/cooling-van). According to Mr. Naerger, the low purchase price and the quick availability were the decisive factors. With a total price of around 23,000 euros and a delivery time of just a few weeks, the [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) is ahead of the competition as a refrigerated vehicle.

 

The electric transporter used in Drensteinfurt is an [ARI 458 Box L](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box). This has a loading space with a length of 149 cm, a width of 125 cm and a height of 110 cm. This means that more than 2.1 m³ volume is available for groceries and other goods. To keep the food fresh, the vehicle is also equipped with a cooling system in the case that can be controlled individually. This version is now available as the [ARI 458 Cooling Van](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/cooling-van).

 

According to Rudi Naerger, the vehicle in Drensteinfurt provokes curious reactions and often puts a smile on the faces of passers-by. And the local paper also reported about the volunteer helpers and their small cooling van after the purchase. To support the non-profit initiative, interested parties can make a one-time donation on their website or become a permanent supporting member.

Yes, the ARI Motors electric vehicles have energy recovery while driving. However, a fundamental distinction must be made between the general recuperation of every electric motor and the recuperation brake in some electric vehicles. Because recuperation is often understood to mean the recuperation brake.

Additional electronic as well as mechanical components are necessary for the recuperation brake. Vehicles with recuperation brakes can basically only be driven with the accelerator pedal after a certain period of "getting used to". To brake, you take your foot off the accelerator early and can only accelerate and brake the vehicle with one pedal. The energy gain through recuperation is higher in urban areas than on overland trips and, depending on the vehicle model and experience with this technology, is a realistic 4-8 kilometers additional range per 100 kilometers.

With the ARI 458, ARI Motors has deliberately omitted these mechanical and electronic necessities for a recuperation brake in view of the cost-benefit calculation. In this way, the vehicle can be offered more cheaply without having any disadvantages in terms of range. This is why the ARI 458 only uses recuperation when the vehicle is rolling, if the movement in the motor generates energy that then flows back into the battery. However, here too the energy gain is so small that you shouldn't rely on this additional range when planning your trip.

In general, with electric vehicles as with combustion engines, the motto is that noticeably longer ranges are only possible through anticipatory and economical driving.
