Frequently asked questions about the ARI 458 Pro
Which ARI 458 Pro battery is suitable for my requirements?
The ARI 458 Pro is equipped with a standard LiFePO4 battery (120-180 km range) as standard. A larger LiFePO4 battery with a range of 180-230 km is available as an option.
The standard battery is usually sufficient for predominantly urban or regional trips with overnight charging. If you ride longer distances, make several trips a day or need more reserve, the larger battery is the better choice.
In addition, the range can be further increased with optional solar cells on the commercial vehicle bodies.
How long does the ARI 458 Pro take to charge?
Depending on the charge status and battery size, a full charge takes around four to five hours. Charging takes place via the 230-volt household socket supplied - a special charging infrastructure or wallbox is not required.
Alternatively, the ARI 458 Pro can be charged at a wallbox or at public AC charging points with a type 2 connection (max. 3.3 kW). DC fast charging is not provided for this model. In everyday commercial use, intermediate charging during working hours or overnight is usually sufficient. All charging options in detail
How many months warranty do I have on the battery and vehicle?
The ARI 458 Pro comes with a 12-month warranty, followed by a 12-month guarantee. The LiFePO4 battery is covered by ARI Motors for 24 months or 50,000 kilometers (whichever comes first).
The warranty begins on the date of purchase, which is documented in the handover report. In the event of a warranty claim, ARI Motors will repair or replace defective components. The prerequisite is that the prescribed maintenance and inspection intervals are adhered to and documented accordingly.
Where can I have my ARI vehicle repaired?
In principle, ARI Motors electric vehicles can be repaired in any garage, as wiring diagrams and repair instructions are provided if required. Many spare parts can also be ordered from spare parts dealers or the ARI Motors online store and can be delivered in around 48 hours.
Can the ARI 458 Pro tow a trailer?
Yes, the ARI 458 Pro can be officially equipped with a trailer coupling and is permitted to tow trailers on public roads. The maximum trailer load depends on the configuration: unbraked trailers up to 350 kg, braked trailers up to 750 kg (depending on registration or N1 classification). The legally permissible upper limit is 750 kg.
Towing is supported by the 15 kW rear-wheel drive with immediately available torque as well as the standard reversing camera and the compact turning circle of 9.62 meters. If higher trailer loads are required, larger models such as the ARI 901 (900 kg) or the ARI 1710 (1,500 kg) offer suitable alternatives. All questions & answers about towing capacity
Can I use the ARI 458 Pro as a mobile power source (Vehicle to Load)?
Yes, with the optional vehicle-to-load function (V2L), the ARI 458 Pro becomes a mobile power source: The vehicle supplies external devices with 230 volts via an unlockable connection - without a combustion engine, noise or fuel costs. Available in three power variants (1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 watts), e.g. for construction site lighting, power tools or cooling devices.
As each power draw reduces the range, V2L is particularly suitable for short-term commercial applications in trade, construction, municipal operations and the event sector.
How much ground clearance and climbing ability does the ARI 458 Pro have?
With a ground clearance of 20 cm and a gradeability of 20%, the ARI 458 Pro also masters uneven terrain as well as hilly paths and approaches. Potholes, small stones or roots are no obstacle thanks to the high ground clearance.
The vehicle is primarily designed for road use, but thanks to its robust leaf springs, rigid axle and rear-wheel drive, it is also a confident performer on forest, meadow and field paths - naturally, it is no substitute for an all-wheel drive vehicle. With a payload of up to 850 kg, it is suitable for urban logistics as well as trade and agricultural tasks. More info!
What fits in the trunk of the ARI 458 Pro?
The standard version of the box body is 2.40 m long, 1.42 m wide and 1.19 m high - enough for two Euro pallets, which can even be loaded with a forklift thanks to the rear hinged doors. With a payload of up to 850 kg, bulky goods such as bicycle boxes, toolboxes, delivery goods or event equipment can also be transported. The body is available in three sizes and as an alcove version with additional storage space. More about the box body of the ARI 458 Pro
