Solar-powered cars…red hot prices! (For now) 🚗
CEO of @lightyear_cars @lexhoefsloot says, “we have to get away from very heavy, big electric cars” & switch to cars that get their energy from the sun.
We talk tech, speed and $250K pricing!
I can't help being a bit proud of what the team at @FullyChargedShw are producing, this is a simply brilliant (quite short) episode, and I can't help being impressed by the achievements of @lightyear_cars

Dutch startup @lightyear_cars has unveiled its Lightyear 0 electric car that has solar panels covering its roof, bonnet and boot so that it can be charged while driving.

🚨 NEW EPISODE: The Electric Car Reinvented! Lightyear 0 FIRST DRIVE coming to you today at 5pm (BST)
You're going to want to clear your schedules for this one...
@MKBHD@AndyManganelli thanks for covering Lightyear Zero in your podcast. Turning to Twitter to reach out to you guys. I've been a great fan of your work, perhaps we can give you a ride in our pre-production car? It will get very real :) It's about 10 years of hard work
@allsmiles1029 That a great idea, perhaps the energy from the solar panel can be used to power a machine that separates the materials and compressed the trash!
Came across @lightyear_cars today. Their cars can be charged via solar cells on its roof & hood and can charge from regular outlets. Production starts 2021. Sign me up! I'd like to trade in my Audi! 🚗
The term self-charging by @LexusUK I personally believe is misleading to consumers, today I've reported their claims to the ASA for investigation. I urge other UK individuals to stand up against these claims. I hope Lexus put the time and energy into addressing the real problem.
Lexus claims it's cars are "self-charging" which is even better than electric according to their adds because you don't need to charge.
This kind of lying by PR people annoys me. Let's face it: Lexus just sells a slightly more efficient gasoline car. It's called a hybrid.
@LeoDiCaprio @lightyear_cars is unveiling a 'drive anywhere' solar powered car, receiving up to 20.000 kilometers worth of sun. Lightyear will build about a 1000 cars a year. Unveiling is 28th of september in the Netherlands. Might be worth looking at. https://t.co/3kYuIhcP9D
