We’ve been excited about the Lightyear One, now called Lightyear 0, for many years, ever since it was first announced in 2019. The prospect of having a massive solar array that takes up every single upward-facing square inch of body in order to provide meaningful free additional range, essentially requiring you to charge less (or even never at all in theory), really had us intrigued and we wanted it to materialize.
Well, now it actually has and it’s set to go into production later this year and it doesn’t seem to have changed much from the first prototypes they showed. The Fully Charged Show was invited to the official launch event held in sunny Spain and had the chance to get behind the wheel. So has this ambitious startup delivered on its promises and does the Lightyear 0 justify its hefty price tag starting at €149,000?
