In addition to the industry and trade, more and more municipalities are discovering the advantages of the agile and practical [ARI 458 electric light van](/en/light-electric-vans) from ARI Motors. For example, the municipal works of Demmin in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has integrated an [ARI 458 Tipper](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/tipper) with a lattice box into its fleet. The municipality has committed itself to reducing CO2 emissions and has put a biogas plant into operation, for example. Our environmentally friendly ARI 458 electric transporter fits perfectly with the image of the forward-looking public utility company.

 

The [ARI 458 Tipper](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/tipper) is particularly suitable for gardening and landscaping as well as municipal technology, some of the main services of Stadtwerke Demmin. Equipment and materials for the maintenance of the green areas can be conveniently transported and unloaded with the manually hydraulically tiltable loading area with dimensions of up to 155 cm in length and 125 cm in width. The 4-part lattice box is also practical for disposing of leaves and other materials that by no means only have to be of plant nature. The 4 lashing eyes also come in handy here, with which bulky objects can be secured for transport.

 

In order to give the vehicle an official exterior, the [ARI 458 Tipper](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/tipper) was provided with an orange rotating beacon and red and white stickers. So everyone can see that the municipality itself is on the move here and is doing something for the appearance and infrastructure of the city. Because the [ARI 458 light electric van](/en/light-electric-vans) is also suitable for maintenance work or regular checking of infrastructure points within a municipality. In this way, the important checkpoints can be passed without the residents being bothered by engine noise and diesel exhaust fumes. This creates a progressive combination of environmental and citizen friendliness, which may soon find its way into your community. Just contact us at info@ari-motors.com.

In times of rising energy costs and the expiry of feed-in tariffs for solar systems, the question of how best to use surplus solar power is becoming increasingly pressing. One possible solution: electric cars as mobile electricity storage units. [ARI Motors](/en) in particular offers interesting options for bidirectional charging with its vehicles.

 

## Why electric cars are so popular as electricity storage units

 

Electric cars have powerful batteries that can be used not only for propulsion, but also to feed electricity back into the household grid or even the public grid. This principle is known as bidirectional charging. It offers a sustainable way to reduce electricity costs and stabilize the energy supply at the same time.

 

Instead of buying an expensive, stationary electricity storage unit, why not use your [electric car](/en/electric-cars) when it is not being driven around the clock anyway? This way, your vehicle can be used twice.

 

But what does bidirectional charging actually mean for your household? Let's take a closer look at the two electric vans from ARI Motors: the ARI 1710 and the compact ARI 458.

 

### ARI 1710: Large transporter for tradesmen and logistics

 

The [ARI 1710](/en/electric-utility-vehicle/ari-1710/van) is an electric van with a battery capacity of up to 100 kWh. It is ideal for tradespeople and logistics companies that require longer ranges and additional transport capacity. At the same time, the battery can be used as a mobile storage unit to feed electricity into the household grid.

 

When the van is not in use, the house can easily be supplied from the energy fed into the battery. Assuming an average consumption of 5.5 kilowatt hours per day, a two-person household can theoretically be supplied with electricity for up to 18 days using the ARI 1710's 100 kWh battery.

 

### ARI 458: Small e-transporter for the local area

 

The [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) has a 20 kWh LiFePo4 battery and is perfect for short trips in the city and smaller deliveries. With a range of around 250 kilometers, it is a practical solution for everyday transport tasks. Even when not in use, it can serve as a compact power storage unit.

 

A two-person household with a consumption of 5.5 kilowatt hours per day can theoretically be supplied with electricity for up to 3 days with the ARI 458's 20 kWh battery.

 

### Bidirectional charging: Vehicle 2 Grid (V2G) and Vehicle 2 Load (V2L)

 

The following technologies are used to enable [electric cars](/en/electric-cars) to function as mobile power storage units:

 

- Vehicle 2 Grid (V2G) makes it possible to feed electricity from the electric car back into the public power grid. This helps to balance load peaks and stabilize the power grid. Find out more about V2G here. 

- Vehicle 2 Load (V2L) allows electrical devices to be connected directly to the car and operated - for example on camping trips or during power outages. Find out more about V2L here. 

- Vehicle 2 Home (V2H) makes it possible to feed electricity from the electric car directly into the household grid. This allows the car to be used as an emergency power source or to optimize self-consumption. This saves energy costs and increases independence from the power grid.

 

### Is bidirectional charging even possible?

 

Before planning bidirectional charging, you should clarify whether it is even possible in your own grid area. Not every energy supplier currently allows electricity from electric cars to be fed back into the grid. In addition, the technical requirements such as a compatible wallbox and a suitable electric car must be met. An early inquiry to the municipal utility company or energy supplier will provide information on whether and under what conditions bidirectional charging can be implemented.

 

### Conclusion: The future of mobile electricity storage is electric

 

Whether for private households, small businesses or outdoor enthusiasts - electric cars from ARI Motors offer sustainable and future-oriented energy solutions. Models such as the [ARI 1710](/en/electric-utility-vehicle/ari-1710/van) and the [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) are not only efficient means of transportation, but also mobile power storage units for a wide range of applications. Thanks to technologies such as Vehicle 2 Home (V2H), you can use your electric car as a flexible energy source for your home. This reduces energy costs, increases independence and stabilizes the power grid.

 

Bidirectional charging is an exciting technology that is becoming increasingly relevant and opens up new possibilities for the electromobility of tomorrow.

Bidirectional charging: ARI Motors electric cars as mobile power storage?

The large [rental and sales service for machines and equipment "Collé"](https://www.colle.eu/de/) has ordered no less than eight vehicles of our [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) series from us. The 120-year-old company - which hires out machinery and equipment for construction, industry, excavation and earthworks, cleaning, gardening, landscaping and events - has opted for eight [ARI 458 Koffer](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) vehicles. These will be sublet to companies that need a practical transporter for a certain period of time.

 

"Collé" has acquired two to three vehicles of each of the three box sizes of the ARI 458 (S, L and XL), which are used for a certain time in the automotive and aircraft industries, among others. Here they are used, for example, by tradesmen who are on the move in the factory halls and need a small yet spacious transporter. All eight vehicles are equipped with an optional side door in the box, which further facilitates loading and unloading.

 

"Collé" has 15 branches where a total of around 13,000 pieces of equipment, machines and vehicles such as our ARI 458 electric transporters can be rented. Depending on your needs, this can be done as daily, monthly or annual rentals. Thus, our ARI 458 electric transporters with box bodies are particularly suitable for suppliers, craftsmen or maintenance companies, but also cleaning companies and landscape businesses. With a load volume of 1.5 m³ (box) up to 2.9 m³ (XL box) and a payload of 531 kilograms, a body variant is available for every transport requirement.

 

Our ARI 458 electric transporters also fit perfectly with the company's environmentally conscious slogan: "Electric is the future". Thus, the company follows the same as ARI Motors with the concept "Powerful, quiet and CO²-neutral". We, too, want to combine the advantages of environmentally conscious electric mobility with the usual performance of commercial vehicles and have gained an important and successful partner in "Collé", which appreciates the advantages of our [ARI 458 electric small transporters](/en/light-electric-vans).
