The Solar-Powered Car By Solar Panels Is The New Bet Of The Company Lightyear, As It Is Manufacturing One Vehicle Per Week

Lightyear, the Dutch electric car company, has indeed started producing its first solar-powered car, through solar panels, made in partnership with Valmet Automotive in Uusikaupunki, Finland.

The company will be the first to manufacture electric vehicles powered directly by solar energy, and this initiative took 6 years to be completed before being ready to be launched to the world.

This new initiative of the solar-powered car company is a major achievement, as Lightyear is currently producing one car per week. In 2023, the company plans to produce its new solar-powered cars on a large scale.

An Outstanding Team

Lightyear has 500 employees since its foundation six years ago and also has a respected team in terms of suppliers and partners, in order to develop the best technology for solar-powered electric cars.

The new solar-powered electric car, named Lightyear 0, is groundbreaking in various aspects for the company, especially in transforming the urban mobility sector. Besides launching the new Lightyear 0, the company plans to launch another new electric car by 2025.

Furthermore, Lightyear is producing its solar-powered car through another company, Valmet Automotive, which has over 10 years of experience in electric vehicles.

The new electric car powered by solar panels has a WLTP range of 625km, 5m² of solar panels that provide it with an additional 70km range per day, and on cloudy days, the new solar-powered car produces enough electricity to travel 35km daily.

The Lightyear has a base price of 250,000 euros, around R$ 1,375,000. The solar-powered car will first be available in Europe and soon after in the rest of the countries, although sales outside are not yet planned.
