The company is all set to launch the “world’s first production-ready solar car” called theLightyear 0.

It’s a streamlined and energy-efficient sedan-style EV that’s covered with curved solar panels.

van Ham pointed out the cars included four in-wheel motors to minimize energy loss.

“Not at 250,000 a throw, it isn’t.”
