The Lightyear 2 is the second solar-powered EV from the Dutch firm, expected to cost less than £40k when it enters production in 2025 ⚡
Dutch start-up Lightyear has previewed its second-generation solar-powered electric car, which it says will make EV ownership more accessible, convenient and affordable.
Some 21,000 pre-orders have already been taken from fleet and leasing firms such as LeasePlan and MyWheels. Powertrain, battery and performance details haven't yet been revealed, but the 2 is expected to be based loosely on today's 0, which has a motor on each wheel and a 60kWh battery, allowing for a leisurely 0-62mph time of 10sec and a 620-mile range.
“By harnessing the power of the sun, [the] Lightyear 2 elevates the electric driving experience and reduces reliance on strained electricity grids. In fact, while Lightyear 2 vehicles require less charging from the electricity grid than a conventional EV, they also flip the script by providing clean energy back into the grid.”the 2 needs three times fewer charges than a conventional EV, with its aerodynamics playing a significant part in achieving a lofty claimed range and drag coefficient of 0.
