Tips: Take a break

Beim Ladevorgang auch den eigenen Akku aufladen

Charging doesn't necessarily have to be a mere necessity, it can also be a great opportunity to take a break and recharge your own batteries.

Instead of getting bored during the charging process, use the time to sit back and relax: You can sit in the car, listen to your favourite music, read a book or e-book, or even do a short meditation. Or simply do nothing and enjoy the moment. If the charging station is near a park or an area of interest, you could also take a walk. This not only helps to get your daily steps in, but exercise can also be refreshing and revitalising. The same is true of a short training session, such as stretching exercises.

Do something good for your body and mind – for example, with a walk or a short meditation while your vehicle is charging.

Gespräche führen und die nächsten Stopps koordinieren

Interesting discussions about electric mobility or travel experiences often develop with your passengers or other electric car drivers at the charging station. Or grab your smartphone and chat to friends or family – a good opportunity to talk without being distracted by other commitments. You can also use the time to plan your route, research POIs or organise the next stopovers.

Use the time during the charging process for valuable conversations with family or friends.

Shoppen, Snacken & Co. – und „nebenbei“ bequem Laden

Modern charging stations are located near cafes, restaurants or shopping centres, offering the perfect opportunity to take a break and recharge your batteries. Aral leads the way: true to the motto “Enjoy a break with Aral pulse”, the company makes the charging experience even more pleasant by also installing its ultra-fast charging stations throughout Germany in places where you can conveniently charge while doing other things - for example at Burger King restaurants or very close to REWE and REWE To Go supermarkets. So next time, enjoy a fresh coffee to go and lots of other great deals and do your shopping while charging your electric car.

Ultra-fast throughout Germany – charging on the go with Aral pulse: You can find the ultra-fast charging stations both in rural areas and in the city, and they are available 24/7. Enjoy a relaxed break with a wide range of offers – find your nearest Aral pulse charging station here.

Aral pulse charging stations are strategically locate so that you can do everyday activities such as shopping or enjoy a coffee break during the charging process.

Der Kreativität freien Lauf lassen

Do you draw, write or make music? Then let your creativity run wild for 30 minutes. If you are active on social media or have your own blog, you can use the time to post or share content. If you are on a business trip, you have the opportunity to answer e-mails, complete tasks or review documents. Or you can simply acquire new knowledge: through podcasts, audiobooks or exciting educational programs. In any case, your “leisure time” gained can be spent in a variety of useful ways.

Use the charging time to work on creative ideas or do things you've been putting off.
