The new electric car, called Lightyear 2, at CES in Las Vegas introduced and after the Lightyear 0, which is currently produced at the Valmet Automotive factory in Finland second vehicle of the company it happened.
Lightyear’s 40.000 € There’s already a waiting list for the vehicle, which it claims will be priced under (£35,420). That’s higher than the target the company set for itself in November (€30,000), but still six times cheaper than Lightyear 0 (€250,000).
Lightyear to production of 2 Plans to start in 2025 and aims to sell it in the UK, Europe and the United States. Company’s goal to deliver 100,000 units per year.
The manufacturer says the Lightyear 2 will have a “real” range of 800km (497 miles) over its lifetime compared to a conventional battery-powered electric vehicle. will produce half as much CO2 and it claims to make it the lowest carbon vehicle. footprint in the market.
Lightyear 2 is expected to share some elements with Lightyear 0. However, no information has yet been released about the 2’s powertrain, battery or performance. Lightyear 0 has an engine on each wheel and It has a 60kWh batterywhich gives it a claimed range of 1000 km and an acceleration time of 0-100 km / h in 10 seconds.
Lightyear, 2’s solar panels and also aerodynamic design compared to a typical electric vehicle three times less charge stated it needed.
The 2 has been redesigned to be more aerodynamic and to collect as much solar energy as possible from the hood, roof and trunk-mounted panels. The door handles are flush with the body of the car to reduce drag and the wheels have a closed design. There is no spoiler on the rear end to create as little drag as possible.
2, 40.000 €, making it more expensive than the MG5 EV and Volkswagen ID 3. However, lightyear If it delivers on its promises, it will have a significantly greater range than a similarly priced battery electric vehicle (BEV).
Lightyear 0 was introduced in 2022 after six years of research, development and testing. The aerodynamically optimized, limited-edition sedan has a starting price of €250.000 and only 946 units will be produced.
