Lightyear expects to begin production of its $263,000 solar-powered automobile later this year

Lightyear says it will only produce 946 units, each of which will cost €250,000 (about $263,262 USD). That high asking price may also make it difficult to sell. You could definitely buy a top-of-the-line electric car and install solar panels on your house and still have money left over. Furthermore, the greater power output of your panels may indicate that your EV is technically more solar-powered overall.
