"In cloudy climates, based on the average commute of around 35 kilometers per day, you can drive for up to two months before you need to think about charging. In sunnier countries, that could be up to seven months," the company said.
Furthermore, every hour under the sun would add 10km of charge to the battery, according to Lightyear.
The model has a maximum speed of 160km per hour, while it can accelerate from 0 to 100km in 10 seconds.
Lightyear has a propulsion system with four motors, one in every wheel. It also has a coefficient aerodynamic with a value of 0.19 and its weight is 1,575kg.
In case it is not sunny, the car can be charged traditionally too, plugging it into an energy source.
