The newest EV startup to enter the fray is an outfit called Lightyear. They have just unveiled their first car and it's called the Lightyear 0.
However, what's unique about it is that the car actually has about five square meters of "patented, double curve solar arrays." Yes, this car has solar panels on it. This, according to Lightyear, means that someone who has a daily commute of under 35km could conceivably drive for months without having to plug the vehicle in to charge.
The Lightyear 0 was built for efficiency, not performance, so the company is understandably coy about horsepower and torque figures. However, it says the Lightyear 0 can get from 0 to 100km/h in 10 seconds and top speed is around 160km/h. This means it's about as quick as a basic family car.Perhaps what's most noteworthy about the Lightyear 0 is that it is production-ready and the company hopes to put the car in customers' hands by the end of this year.
