The development of the Lightyear One continues, a car we have talked about most; times and which is characterized by being able to be recharged even with the sun thanks to the presence of solar panels on the roof and on the hood . In the last few days, the company has provided an interesting update on the development work it is carrying out and which highlights the great efficiency it will be able to achieve; arrange this car.
Recently, the electric car & egrave; was taken to Bridgestone's European Proving Ground (EUPG) in Aprilia, Italy, where it is has been subjected to various tests including those of efficiency at & quot; high speed & agrave; & quot; .
VERY LOW CONSUMPTION
Is not serious; the first time the Lightyear One is subjected to similar tests. In July 2021, on a test track in Germany (Aldenhoven Testing Center), she managed to cover a distance of 710 km at a speed; average of about 85 km/h.
For the company, test the car in real conditions & egrave; very important. There are several parameters that can affect the performance of an electric such as weather conditions. On the Aprilia track, speed & egrave; was increased to 130 km/h . Furthermore, the proof is; was done with a ambient temperature of about 10 degrees . As we know, low temperatures can greatly affect the efficiency of an electric car.
The result obtained is; it was very interesting. At that speed and with a low temperature, the Lightyear One recorded a consumption of 141 Wh/km . It is therefore a very low value which highlights the great efficiency of the car. This means that in such conditions, the car is able to offer an autonomy of more than 400 km . We remind you that the battery has a capacity; 60 kWh . The manufacturer is keen to emphasize that the test is; was carried out with two people on board and with a & quot; baggage & quot; 20 kg, to simulate real driving conditions in the best possible way. It is not & egrave; also tried to carry out the tests on sunny days to make the most of the presence of solar panels.
The company's goal is to get to realize the most electric efficient on the market and on the strength of these results, it believes it is on track to reach this goal. The trials and development tests will continue in the coming months. The manufacturer aims to put the Lightyear One on the road for the summer of 2022. The car will be; built in 946 specimens at a cost of 150 thousand euros (excluding taxes).
As we know, the company is already in place; Looking at the future. Between 2024 and 2025 will arrive & agrave; the Lightyear Two that will exploit & agrave; the technologies developed on the One but which will be proposed on the market at a starting price of around 30 thousand euros.
