Thanks to solar power, the pricey Lightyear 0 EV can spend months without being charged
Not everyone has access to a lot of electric vehicle charging stations, but what if all you needed was the sun to run your car? This is not quite the case with the new Lightyear 0 EV, but it is close. The 2016-founded Dutch company Lightyear has announced the construction of its first prototype vehicle before the end of the year. At a price of $263,000 USD for one of the 946 intended units at launch, you’ll have to pay up and hope for some good luck to get one. However, if you do so, you will have an electric vehicle that looks sleek and futuristic and is capable of traveling around 44 miles on only solar power.
That is just a tiny percentage of the 388 total projected miles of range that the Lightyear 0 can provide, but the firm claims that someone could conceivably drive one of these vehicles for months without visiting a charging station if they live in a region with enough sunlight. It has a peak speed of around 100 mph, so you won’t be zipping down the interstate in this bad boy, but at least you can feel good about yourself for driving a vehicle with an interior built entirely of vegan materials.
