Lightyear One - Fully Charged

Let’s join Robert Llewellyn as he attends the unveiling of the Lightyear One prototype solar EV. Not fully solar powered, but enough to be quite useful, it is an interesting bit of kit! Much like the original Tesla game plan, Lightyear intend to start with a big expensive car, and work their way down in price and size. While we cannot afford this first effort, in a few years maybe we will be piloting a Lightyear 2 or 3. Enjoy!

When Solar Team Eindhoven won the world solar challenge in Australia driving a 4 seater 100% solar powered car over 3,000 kilometers, no one would have believed that a handful of years later they could come up with this. The Lightyear One. A spacious hyper efficient partially solar powered electric car.

Dutch company Lightyear launches four-wheel drive solar-powered car able to drive for months without charging. Currently, all cars of the world combined drive one light year, every year.
