Admittedly, every list is debatable – and certainly if there are hardly any arguments put forward to indicate the difference between number 1 and 10, we must be wary. But if a company<\/a> that has the mission to speed up the switch to 100% fully electric driving puts you on #2 in the list of “most anticipated electric cars<\/a> for the next two years, then you can be satisfied. Just behind the Tesla Model 3 Performance, but before brands like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, and Audi. Indeed, the Lightyear One<\/a> is not just<\/em> an electric car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The list has been compiled by Mountox<\/a>, a Dutch platform for electric cars that uses a number of innovative tools to provide insight into all e-cars and calculates the advantages of electric driving. The platform is highly positive about Lightyear:<\/p>\n

“A new Dutch car builder is here! With a mission: driving a distance of 1 light year solely on solar power. Startup Lightyear kicks off with the Dutch sun car Lightyear One<\/a><\/span>. The car charges itself with solar cells and can total almost 800 km on one battery charge. The actual range will be a bit lower, yet impressive! We believe that Lightyear has the ultimate product in its hands and from 2020 onwards, it will compete with the German solar car Sion (Sono<\/a><\/span><\/em> motorcycles)<\/a><\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Lightyear\"<\/a>Pricewise, this competition will be quite difficult because a Sion is for sale for a fraction of the amount of that of a Lightyear. But Lightyear emphasizes – not for nothing – that Sion has a completely different purpose, the main difference being that the solar panels on that car are at most supportive (and therefore only provide a limited range), where they are all-important at Lightyear.<\/p>\n

Lightyear is based at the Helmond automotive campus, where a new production hall is currently being completed.<\/p>\n
