JAKARTA – A number of technology giants are competing to make their own electric cars. For example, Apple and Xiaomi are ambitious to shake Tesla's dominance in the automotive sector. Lightyear company will present a different electric car, namely by using solar power.
The global electric car market is currently controlled by Elon Musk's company, Tesla. However, Tesla's dominance seems to be shaken with the arrival of solar electric car manufacturer, Lightyear.
The problem with electric cars today is battery capacity and mileage, and charging systems are still scarce. However, this problem is being addressed by electric car developers at this time.
Based on a Mototrend report, Lightyear will soon mass-produce an electric car that uses solar power called the Lightyear One which is rumored to be able to cover a distance of 709 km with a smaller battery capacity than the Tesla Model S.
In terms of comparison, the Tesla Model S uses a battery with a capacity of 100 kWh, while the Lightyear One only has a capacity of 60 kWh. Despite its small capacity, the Lightyear One manages to cover a distance of 709 km on a single charge.
The company is optimistic that the range of the Lightyear One car can be increased again to 724 km. Currently, the solar electric car company Lightyear is working on realizing its plans.
The presence of electric cars that use solar power will benefit a number of tropical countries in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. The reason is, to drive the electric car only uses solar panels to store energy and only one time charging.
Lightyear One is considered to be suitable for use in tropical countries that are rich in sunlight. However, until now the Lightyear company has not announced more detailed specifications regarding the solar-powered electric car. It is also not known whether the solar panels are only placed on the roof of the car or not.
