The world's first mass-produced solar electric vehicle is here, with a price of up to 1.84 million yuan and a range of about 700 kilometers.
In addition to hydrogen energy , as the energy type for sustainable development , solar car has always been one of the most concerned spotlights in the industry. Recently, the Netherlands Lightyear Company has launched the world's first solar car, Lightyear 0 (light years 0), with the first batch of 946 units planned to mass produce, with a price of 250,000 euros (about 1.8328 million yuan). So far, it has received about 150 orders from all over the world.
The appearance and shape of the new car adopts a retro and futuristic design style, which is very dynamic and fashionable. In order to improve its battery life, the new car adopts aerodynamic design, the body is made of lighter aluminum and carbon fiber materials, and is also equipped with fully enclosed wheels and Bridgestone low-roll resistance tires independently developed for the car. The resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle is reduced to 0.175Cd.
interior part is very simple, equipped with a full LCD instrument screen and a 10.1-inch floating central control screen. Each side of the front door is equipped with an LCD screen, replacing the traditional rearview mirror.
More worth mentioning is that the front hood and roof of the new car are equipped with about 5 square meters of efficient solar panel . It can output 1.05kW of power under sufficient sunlight. It only needs to bask in the sun for 1 hour, which can add about 9.98 kilometers of range to the vehicle, and it can provide a maximum range of about 70 kilometers per day. The electricity generated by solar energy alone can add about 11,000 kilometers of range per year. This also means that in a clear weather area and the vehicle is fully charged, it can drive as an commuter car for several months without connecting to a charging pile to charge.
In addition, Lightyear 0 is also equipped with a set of lithium battery packs with a capacity of 60kWh. Even in rainy weather, it can be used like the ordinary electric car . Under WLTP conditions, it can run 463 kilometers with full charge. Combined with the energy replenishment provided by solar panels, the comprehensive range can reach 695 kilometers.
When everyone saw this car, they said it was too expensive and could not afford it. However, Lightyear said it plans to launch the next generation of Lightyear 2, which is more affordable by 2025, with a price of 30,000 euros (about 220,000 yuan). Can you accept this price?
