Lightyear is an electric car company in The Netherlands whose mission is to develop, manufacture and sell solar-powered cars that will accelerate the electric car revolution by eliminating one of the biggest drawbacks — the lack of charging infrastructure.The company claims only 3% of people in the world live within 100 kilometers of a public charging station. EV charging infrastructure is improving, but not nearly fast enough to allow electric cars to be the mainstream choice in time to have maximum positive impact on the pace of global warming.
