The ARI 804 is an electric 4-seater with a length of 2.55 meters and a width of 1.29 meters. Alternatively, the rear seat can be folded down to create more trunk space. Customers can choose between an SLA battery and a lithium-ion battery with ranges of 120 kilometers to 285 kilometers, which can be extended up to 25 kilometers thanks to a solar panel with up to 200 watts of power. The ARI 804 is powered by an AC motor with 7.5 kW power and can reach a top speed of 78 km/h.
The second-gen Sion features 248 photovoltaic panels integrated into the vehicle's body that will top up its battery pack during daylight hours, for up to 20 miles of extra range per day. The company has opted for electric drive from Continental, which offers 150-kW peak power, 60-kW continuous power and 175 Nm (129 lb.ft) of torque. Top speed is reckoned to be 140 km/h (87 mph).
The Sion is a spacious and family-friendly solar electric vehicle. Its outer shell consists of 456 seamlessly integrated solar half-cells that extend the time between charges and enable self-sufficiency on short journeys. The energy generated by the solar cells is expected to extend the estimated 305 km (189,5 miles) range of the Sion's 54 kWh LFP battery by an average of 112 km/70 mi per week in typical weather conditions and by as much as 245 km/152 mi per week in optimal conditions. The battery will allow for a maximum charging capacity of up to 75 kW (DC) and 11 kW (AC). Bidirectional charging up to 11 kW will turn Sion into a solar “power plant” that can charge devices, other EVs, or put energy back into private or public energy grids.
