Be among the first to drive solar electric

Here at Lightyear, we're big fans of curiosity. We understand the itch to head off the beaten track and applaud discovery beyond boundaries. After all, where would we be without those who did things a little differently?

Power your journeys

with free, clean energy

Range scripted by sunlight

Lightyear 2 is solar electric. With an integrated layer of solar cells extending your journeys, you could drive over 500 miles before your next plug charge. For short and medium trips, Lightyear 2 could even sustain itself without a socket in sight. Picture that, being untied from the electricity grid and running on free, clean solar power alone.

Charge less, enjoy more

Lightyear 2 needs three times fewer charges than a conventional EV, because this aerodynamic car does a lot with its energy. That means more time, energy and freedom to travel unanchored by charging infrastructure. And as well as the sun, any power outlet in the world becomes a charging station. Even a regular home socket.

Truly sustainable

Along with reducing dependency on the power grid, Lightyear 2 has the smallest energy footprint on the market. Its lifetime emissions are half than that of conventional EVs. For a truly sustainable way to explore the world, without taxing it.

But that’s not all

Powered by your own energy

The cost of fuel is rising, and electricity is creeping up too. But we say your daily commutes don’t have to drain your battery or your wallet. Depending on habits and location, you could power your drives entirely with free, clean energy.

Innovation that matters

To engineer a truly clean electric car that performs in a challenging and changing world, we had to reimagine it. Lightyear 2 inherits all of the innovation of Lightyear 0. The world’s first solar car, and the most aerodynamic in history.
