I'm honestly surprised Tesla etc aren't already doing this. I also feel that what we've seen with Tesla's struggles to bring cars to market, Lightyear would be better off partnering with an existing company rather than trying to launch their own vehicle.

- LoSboccacc 7y ago> 250km on a 35kWh battery > up to 34 kilometers of additional range per day so 4.75kwh from solar panel in 8 hours 600 watt solar panel average power 4m^2 solar panels give or take back of the envelope calculation checks out, this would be a great commuter car.
