Efficient charging with the ARI Bruni: 230 V socket, wallbox or fast charging?
The ARI Bruni is not only compact and practical, but also very easy to charge. Thanks to the option of charging it at a standard household 230-volt socket, charging remains flexible and uncomplicated. However, there are a few important points to bear in mind to make the charging process safe and efficient. In this article, you will learn how to charge your ARI Bruni optimally and what options are available to you.
Charging at the household socket - simple and convenient
The ARI Bruni is supplied with a suitable charging cable with a 230-volt plug. This allows you to connect the vehicle to any standard socket - whether in the garage, in the yard or even on the balcony. An empty battery is fully charged again in around 5 to 6 hours. In most cases, however, the battery will only be partially discharged, so the charging time will be correspondingly shorter.
Important notes for safe charging:
-
Only use the supplied charging cable or a suitable extension with a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm².
-
Do not use conventional extension cables from DIY stores, as their current carrying capacity is not sufficient.
-
Make sure that the cable is always fully unrolled to avoid overheating.
Charging with a balcony solar power system
A balcony power station can be a practical and sustainable way to charge the ARI Bruni with solar power. By feeding the energy generated into the household grid, the vehicle's charging requirements can be partially or fully covered. Charging is particularly efficient when combined with a storage unit that provides surplus solar energy for later use. With a charging power of just 800 watts, the ARI Bruni is ideal for this type of energy supply, which reduces electricity costs and optimizes the use of renewable energies.
Charging at the wallbox - what do I need to consider?
If you already have a wallbox at home or would like to use a charging station on the road, the ARI Bruni makes it very easy.
In principle, the charging process works just like at a normal socket - only more convenient.
This is how you charge at the wallbox:
- Simply use your existing charging cable (type 2)
- Plug it into the front of the vehicle
- And connect it to your wallbox or charging station
The ARI Bruni charges via the AC connection with a charging time of around 4 to 5 hours - just like at a household socket.
Important: The charging time is determined by the charger installed in the vehicle, not by the power of the wallbox.
Fast charging with the ARI Bruni
If you want to go faster, the ARI Bruni also offers the option of fast charging via CCS.
To do this, you need a suitable CCS adapter that enables the fast charging standard commonly used in Europe.
Your advantages with fast charging:
-
Charging time of approx. 1 hour from empty to full
-
Maximum charging power of around 18 kW (measured in practice)
-
Ideal for on the go or when you need to charge quickly
Why we recommend slow charging:
-
The battery is protected and has a longer service life.
-
Fast charging generates more heat and can put a strain on the battery in the long term.
-
The purchase of a fast-charging adapter is expensive.
Conclusion: Charge smartly and protect the battery
For most ARI Bruni owners, charging at a 230-volt socket is completely sufficient. It is simple, inexpensive and easy on the battery. If you have a wallbox, you can easily use it. If you need to charge faster, the CCS adapter is always available as a quick solution.
With the right charging technology, your ARI Bruni will remain ready for use for a long time and you will save yourself unnecessary costs. Try it out and experience maximum driving comfort with minimum charging effort!
