Lightyear, founded in 2016 in the Netherlands, specialized in developing solar-powered electric vehicles. Their flagship model, the Lightyear 0, featured integrated solar panels capable of adding up to 70 km of range per day under optimal conditions. Despite initial advancements, the company faced financial challenges, leading to bankruptcy in early 2023. Subsequently, the first prototype of the Lightyear 0 was auctioned in November 2024.
