In this episode we take a look at the company Lightyear. Their car, the Lightyear Zero was set to be the world’s first solar production car. It could drive for months without needing to be re-charged. It seemed like a dream come true but the journey was fraught with financial trouble. We also take a look at 2 other solar car projects, Aptera and Sonos.

Some other stats: The motors are 97% efficient, the solar panels are 20% more efficient than average panels. The drag coefficient is less than 0.19

Great video’s guy’s but Ur intro is far too long❤
Loved that the concept of the light year unfortunately it was really out of my prize range. perhaps governments should not only be incentivising the use of EV’s but also incentivising efficient Evs much in the same way that they’ve been penalising cars that have high tail pipe emissions.
100% yes on buy
The Dutch ride bicycle everyday, they don’t really need those cars, and their traffic policies prove the world that we don’t need to drive in our cities.
i’d say market manipulation by oil giants ,carmakers and who knows who made sure the company goes belly up.
