The short answer on why Lightyear is going all in on the 2 at the expense of the Lightyear 0 is “the market said so.” The Lightyear 0 and the Lightyear 1 were proofs of concept; example models designed to hit milestones and break records in the course of proving to the marketplace that solar vehicles like the Lightyear 1 were ready for real-world use.
The Lightyear 0 and 1 are exiting the spotlight, basically, because they succeeded. Enough buyers are now persuaded that solar cars could be a thing that they’re signing on in droves for the Lightyear 2: a solar SUV projected to be Lightyear’s first true production vehicle. Lightyear’s announcement states that the Lightyear 2 has already picked up 40,000 individual pre-orders, plus 20,000 orders from companies looking to update their motor fleets.
Based on the performance of the Lightyear 1, there’s good reason for optimism with the upcoming Lightyear 2. The Lightyear 2 claims it has 500 miles of range on a single charge and an MSRP under $40,000. If it can hit those marks while delivering an acceptable driving experience, it could be a major force in the global EV market.
