Dutch automotive company Lightyear made headlines around the world in December when it announced that it had begun production of the first commercial solar-powered car, the Lightyear 0, TCD reports.

Although the Lightyear 0 was a revolutionary model that could travel 43 miles per day thanks to solar panels on its roof alone, it was extremely expensive, costing more than a quarter of a million US dollars. After filing for bankruptcy in January and emerging from it in February, Lightyear announced it would focus solely on manufacturing the Lightyear 2, a more practical model costing about $40,000.

This solar-powered electric car will be able to go about 500 miles (over 804 km) between charges, giving it a huge range.

According to Lightyear, this new model will require only a third of the charging amount of current electric vehicles.

While the exact timeframe is unclear, Bloomberg reported that the Lightyear 2 should go on sale within the next three years.
