Lightyear has now kicked off the start of the production for the Lightyear 0 solar EV in Finland, as reported by Electrek. It was started by a group of engineering students competing for solar mobility. The team's early success fortified Lightyear, which will now be coming to the streets.
It was in 2019 when the Lightyear One debuted, but it was in 2020 when an early prototype was seen outside CES in Las Vegas. By 2021, the company will be assembled by Valmet Automotive in Finland. Teamwork and collaboration play big roles in the evolution of the startup.
Lightyear One
The structure of Lightyear One is an amalgamation of Finnish talent and the influential Chinese solar industry. When the Lightyear One was unveiled at CES in Las Vegas, it was showcased to be the fastest electric vehicle on the planet. Its top speed is over 200 mph. Its range is 1,000 km.
Lightyear is the first startup to focus on the four technologies crucial in developing a solar EV. They are:
1. High-End Battery Tech
2. Carbon Fiber Construction
3. Solar Panels
4. Robotic Assembly
Lightyear is looking to innovate the electric car market and to improve the industry drastically.
The Future of Solar EV Technology
The Lightyear team has already been creating a buzz in the industry. When it debuted in Las Vegas, it introduced a new generation of transportation that is as safe as it is sustainable. It is a testament that green means far more than clean. And it is all thanks to Finland's rich solar technology and China's manufacturing prowess.
Solar power is usually collected from solar panels and stored in batteries. This advanced technology revolutionizes the electric vehicle industry. With the solar vehicles, one can travel without the need of power charging stations.
As one of the Nordic countries, Finland has been known to be the most economically and politically stable. It is also known to be a very modern country that can take the lead in establishing a standard for the world.
In Finland, Lightyear's solar EVs will have their carbon dioxide emissions cut by over 90% during the manufacturing and assembly processes.
Solar EVs are considered to be the future of the automotive industry. It helps solve the industry's challenges, which continuously rise as the global population evolves.
Solar EVs produce zero emissions. They help lower harmful emissions that can lead to pollution. They also help lessen greenhouse gases.
Lightyear is spearheading a solar EV revolution that the world has been waiting for. It is the future of transportation, the future of renewable energy, and the future of a sustainable planet. It is the future that we all deserve.
