Which battery is best suited for your ARI electric vehicle depends largely on your transport and mobility needs. Both the standard built-in lead-gel battery and the LiFePO4 battery are powerful, maintenance-free and robust.

 

**However, they differ in terms of:**

 

- maximum range
- weight and possible load capacity
- purchase price
- durability.


 

**Lead gel battery: The economical solution for regional mobility and low transport volumes**

 

The standard built-in lead-gel battery is particularly cheap. If you are primarily travelling regionally and have a rather low volume of cargo, it is completely sufficient.

 

Details:

 

- 200 kg weight
- capacity of 120Ah
- approx. 120 km range (62 mi.)
- 900 – 1000 charging cycles
- 2 year warranty


 

Perfect for:

 

Regional delivery services (drinks, mail, laundry, etc.), craftsmen (journeys to the place of work, transport of work equipment, etc.), service providers (e.g. nursing service, caretaker service), everyday mobility in the city or in the surrounding area, commuting in the local area

 

**LiFePO4 battery: The power solution for frequent drivers with high transport volumes and long distances**

 

A LiFePO4 battery is the right choice for anyone who values ​​a high payload and a long range.

 

Details:

 

- 90 kg weight (higher cargo load possible)
- depending on the battery variant 160 Ah, 205 Ah, 277 Ah
- corresponding to 150 km, 200 km, 250 km range (93, 124, 155 mi.)
- more than 5000 charging cycles
- 4 year / 60,000km warranty

 

Costs: from 2600 EUR

 

Pefect for:

 

Regular driving over long distances, high transport volume, high demands on driving performance and durability

 

**Conclusion:**

 

The right battery is the one that best suits your needs and driving habits.

 

- If you want or have to go far, have a lot to transport and want to save costs in the long term, we recommend the LiFePO4 battery.
- If you mainly travel regionally and are completely satisfied with a moderate load, then the lead-gel battery is the most economical option for you.

LiFePO4 or SLA lead acid battery: Which battery is suitable for my ARI Motors electric vehicle?

Electric vehicles receive comprehensive subsidies in almost all countries. In this way, savings of several thousand Euros or Dollars are possible with ARI Motors electric vehicles. To find out the exact subsidies for your country and region, contact the appropriate government agency. In some countries, even multiple funding is possible, where you can receive both federal funding and state / regional funding.


What subsidies can I receive for my ARI Motors 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

Depending on the way of driving, the vehicle can reach approximately 120 km (75 mi.) with the lead gel battery and up to 495 km (308 mi.) with the LiFePO4-battery. We are examining the ranges on a regular basis with electrical as well as cargo loads in warm and cold temperatures. As with combustion engines, anticipatory driving helps to minimize the power consumption and thereby increases the range. If the stated ranges still seem too small to you, we recommend our solar panel for all box bodies to refuel the battery for free with solar energy. This can lead to approximately 30 km (19 mi.) more range.
