Lightyear One, which will be the first solar powered car developed by Dutch venture company Lightyear, is expected to be introduced in 2019.
Some of the world's dreams are different, while the whole world is trying to pass by electric cars. Lightyear, a Dutch initiative, advocates that cars can run on solar energy and travel long distances.
Is it really possible to produce cars with the power of the sun and the range of 400-800 kilometers as Lightyear defends? According to many experts on the subject, solar powered automobiles are both impractical and impossible to produce.
In this case, we can show the Toyota Prius as an example. While developing the Japanese automobile giant Prius, he thought a solar energy panel joint on the roof would benefit from a standard battery charging system. But the system only gave the Prius 6.4 km.
Of course, comparisons do not happen this way. For this reason, engineers made a calculation and calculated that current technology and solar panels can only power a motor at 6.4 horsepower. An ordinary lawnmower is 18 horsepower.
