The facility will produce one car a week, to begin with.

Dutch company Lightyear, which has spent the last six years developing technologies to make the world's first solar-powered electric vehicle has now entered a very important phase of its lifetime. Its first model, Lightyear 0 has now entered production, aAs the world moves toward electric modes of transportation, new challenges are being thrown up.

Since it is unlikely that a driver will exact the full juice of the battery every single day, the panels keep charging Lightyear 0 every day and add more miles every day. Based on an average commute of 21 miles , the Lightyear 0 can go a full two months before it needs to connect to a wall-socket charger again.

Interestingly, the car is well-designed and does not show any signs of compromise a user has to make to gain the solar charging advantage. While all this was great during the prototype stage, Lightyear has now entered a crucial phase of actual production.Lightyear has teamed up with Finland-based Valmet Automotive for its production requirements.

"Starting production of Lightyear 0, the first solar car, brings us a big step closer to our mission of clean mobility for everyone, everywhere," said Lex Hoefsloot, in the press release. "We may be the first to achieve this, but I certainly hope we aren’t the last.”
