Solar Team Eindhoven Launches Lightyear One Solar Electric Car – Video
According to the announcement, it's not only the first solar powered family car to be available on the market, but also a four-wheel drive one.
Lightyear mission:
"Currently, all cars of the world combined drive one light year, every year. That is 9.500.000.000.000 km. Every year. Powered by fossil fuels. Our goal is to accelerate the adoption of electric cars so that by 2030, one light year will have been driven electric. To that, we are providing a scalable solution."
Currently Lightyear has received five orders for the Lightyear One, which doesn't surprise us, as the price tag is €119,000 ($135,000) – one can learn more and of course place an order on the company's website here. However, there are no specs revealed as of yet.
The target to start production is 200 orders by next year.
Former TU Eindhoven students intend to develop and introduce the Lightyear One using just a fraction of capital that would normally be needed by an established carmaker.
