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.

Yes. Every ARI Motors electric transport vehicle with a box body can be equipped with 300 watt solar panels.

Can I also lease or finance my ARI electric vehicle?

According to a study by DAT, used electric cars are attracting increasing interest from customers. As many as 14% of people interested in buying a used electric car were recently open to the idea.

 

This is significantly more than in previous years, when just 4% and 9% of potential buyers could imagine buying a used electric car. Although the electric drive is still the type of engine with the fewest supporters overall, this at least indicates a subtle change in direction.

 

However, the increased popularity of electric used cars came at the expense of plug-in hybrids. These lost significant popularity, while petrol (41%) and diesel models (16%) met with the same level of interest.

 

## Growing range & battery testing basis for increased interest

 

The main reason for the increased popularity of used e-cars is the growing supply of used BEVs, which naturally attracts more potential buyers.

 

However, technical advances and modern battery testing options are also playing their part in making used electric cars more presentable, as it was the previously less tangible battery condition that often made potential customers shy away from a purchase.

 

## Young used electric cars particularly popular

 

It is also striking that many customers are particularly interested in young used electric vehicles. A full 44% of the potential buyers surveyed by DAT were considering an electric car that was less than twelve months old. Just two years ago, only around 30% were interested in such a vehicle.

 

However, slightly older used electric cars (> 1 year old) are also becoming increasingly popular. Whereas just a short time ago, a maximum of 7% of potential buyers were interested in purchasing such a second-hand electric car, 12% would now give it a chance.

 

The preference for new cars, on the other hand, has dropped noticeably from 69% to 61%.

 

## BEV used car customers buy out of conviction

 

In general, it can be seen that people interested in BEVs mainly buy a used electric car because they are convinced that a vehicle with an electric drive is good for the environment (84%).

 

69% also believe that e-motors are the drive technology of the future and consider an e-car or e-mobile to be the ideal means of transportation for everyday use.

 

## Desired minimum ranges and falling prices

 

Most of the prospective BEV buyers surveyed (79%) would buy a used e-car as their first car and would like it to have a minimum range of 366 kilometers. This makes them more modest than the average petrol car buyer with a desired range of at least 448 kilometers.

 

Although many second-hand electric vehicles are not able to provide a range of 366 kilometers and therefore initially fall through the search grid, it can be assumed that used electric vehicles with an everyday range of 50 - 200 km will also find buyers.

 

According to experts, however, prices for electric cars are coming under increasing pressure and the residual values of electric vehicles are also very low.

 

According to residual value experts, this is partly due to the sharp price reductions for new Tesla models, which will presumably also affect the prices of used Tesla vehicles and electric vehicles from competitors.

 

## Conclusion:

 

To summarize, it can be said that used electric cars are attracting increasing interest - especially from customers for whom an environmentally friendly vehicle that is suitable for everyday use is important.

 

As more and more used electric cars come onto the market, supply is growing in parallel with demand. Technical advances and modern battery testing methods minimize the risk of buying a second-hand electric vehicle and ensure that more and more people can imagine buying a used electric vehicle as their first car.

Second-hand electric cars on the rise: interest in used electric cars is growing

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.
