Lightyear suspends production of its first solar EV to concentrate on its second
The Lightyear 0 costs nearly $300,000 and was designed to produced in limited quantities, much like the. On the other hand, the Lightyear 2 will cost around $40,000, according to the company. It's supposed to have up to 500 miles of range, aided by its solar panels, but the company has yet to reveal other details or show complete images of the vehicle.
The concept of both EVs is the same. The car’s solar panels can provide up to 44 miles of range on a sunny day, meaning drivers with relatively short commutes may rarely need to charge their vehicles. For longer distances, the vehicles have battery packs that provide nearly 400 miles of extra range, in the case of the Lightyear 0. That's also aided by very slippery aerodynamic profiles.
