Why Lightyear Charging Solutions Are Different

The Lightyear 0 stands out thanks to its integrated solar cells, which can provide up to 70 kilometers of additional range per day under optimal conditions. This significantly reduces the dependency on external charging sources. However, additional charging is necessary for longer trips or less sunny days. The Lightyear 0 is equipped with a 60 kWh battery, good for an estimated range of 550 km in mixed driving conditions. The vehicle supports both AC charging up to 22 kW and DC fast charging up to 75 kW.

Charging at home or on the go? This suits Lightyear drivers

Thanks to the solar cells, the Lightyear 0 can generate a significant portion of its own energy every day, especially on sunny days. For charging at home, a 22 kW AC charging station is ideal, which can fully charge the battery in approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes. On the road, DC fast charging up to 75 kW offers the possibility of charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 44 minutes.

Which charging cables, chargers and stations are suitable?

For optimal charging at home, a 22 kW AC charging station is recommended. On the road, it is important to use DC fast chargers with a capacity of up to 75 kW for fast charging sessions. The Lightyear 0 is compatible with Type 2 connectors for AC charging and CCS connectors for DC fast charging.
