Other Solar Cars This 2022

Aside from China's first pure solar car, Mashable reported that the Dutch manufacturer, Lightyear, is developing another sun-reliant vehicle. 

The tech firm confirmed that it is now working on the so-called Lightyear 0 EV. Its production is expected to begin before 2022 ends. 

Lightyear estimated that their new solar car would be manufactured by the end of the year. However, the exact month is not yet confirmed. 

Unlike other solar cars, the upcoming Lightyear 0 EV is quite expensive, with a price of $263,000. Its manufacturer said that it would only launch around 940 units. 

One of its advanced features is its long-lasting battery power, allowing the solar vehicle to last for months. If you want to see more information about the new Lightyear 0 EV, you can click this link.
