LIGHTYEAR ONE final specs: powertrain, tires, price & availability. All the details in one place. Lightyear (lightyearone) is the world's first solar-powered electric car production car. Lightyear one solar car is electric solar car (solar powered car) and lightyear one car has a limited run of 946 pieces as 120 already supplied

In this episode of ev series, we considered the New lightyear one specs, lightyear one powertrain, lightyear one price, lightyear one range, lightyear one tires, lightyear one wheel size, lightyear one 0-60 and lightyear one availability.

The mission of Lightyear as a company is clean mobility for everyone. The Solar powered technology has the potential to be much more energy-efficient than today's electric vehicles sprouting.

It's long at 5.1m from tip to tail and styled in an extreme teardrop shape, to boost aerodynamics but also to provide enough space for four passengers and their luggage in the generous 780-litre boot (rising to 1701, if you drop the rear seats).

That long footprint also provides enough area for 5sq m of solar panels on the roof. You can of course plug the car in to charge up from the mains at home (22 miles of range in one hour from a wall box) or a fast charger (130 miles in one hour at 22kW, or 354 miles in one hour at 60kW).

The special rubber is fitted in a typically tall, narrow size (175/60 R19) to reduce the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle down to just below 0.20cd and the rolling resistance is much lower than on conventional tires. Bridgestone claims the tires add the equivalent of 17 extra miles to the 450-mile EV range.

Power is provided by an in-wheel motor at each corner, for four-wheel drive, but the emphasis is very much on range, not performance. The 0-62mph sprint takes 'less than 10 seconds' but of more interest is the 7.5 miles of range provided by one hour's solar charging on a bright day. The battery size fitted is 60kWh.

The Lightyear One's price of €150,000 excludes taxes. So let's call that the equivalent of £130,000, rounded up to £156,000 including VAT and on-road charges. 120 cars sold to people in the Netherlands already,' and the focus is largely on the Dutch market but will soon be ramping up marketing efforts.
