World's first production-ready solar car to take the road later this year
晒晒太阳就能续航，全球首款太阳能电动车量产在即
A Dutch company is starting deliveries of the world’s first production-ready solar car to customers later this year, promising months of charge-less driving in summer conditions.
2016年成立于荷兰的Lightyear公司将于今年晚些时候向客户交付全球首款可量产的太阳能汽车。该公司承诺这款太阳能汽车在夏季可驾驶数月而无需充电。
Lightyear, founded in the Netherlands in 2016, is making 949 of the models featuring curved solar panels across the car’s hood and roof. Power derived from the sun will add as much as 70 kilometers of driving range per day from the sun.
Lightyear公司将生产949台太阳能汽车，这些汽车的引擎盖和车顶都安装了曲面太阳能电池板，每天最多可提供70公里的行驶里程。
The company says the car will be able to drive around 624 kilometers without stopping to recharge, and each hour in the sun will add up to nearly 9 kilometers of charge to the battery.
该公司表示，Lightyear 0充电一次可行驶约624公里。阳光照射1小时可为车辆增加约9公里行驶里程。
“Electric cars are a step in the right direction, but they are dependent on the grid, which is still dependent on mostly fossil fuel energy,” Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Lex Hoefsloot said at the reveal of the $263,000 Lightyear 0 model. “Adding a new source, the sun, adds certainty that you will always have that charge and you will have to charge a lot less often.”
公司首席执行官兼联合创始人莱克斯·霍夫斯洛特在Lightyear 0车型发布会上表示：“电动汽车朝着正确方向迈出了一步，但它们依赖于电力，而电力仍然主要依赖于化石燃料能源。添加太阳能电池板，可以确保车辆能通过太阳能获得动力，并且可以减少车辆充电次数。”该车售价为26.3万美元（约合人民币176万元）。
According to Lightyear the optimized solar roof and holistic design mean that the car can drive for weeks, even months, without charging. In cloudy climates, based on the average commute of around 35 kilometers per day, the car can drive for up to two months before needing to be charged. In sunnier countries, that could be up to seven months. Plugged into a regular home socket, Lightyear 0 can still charge 32 kilometers of range per hour.
据Lightyear公司介绍，经过优化的太阳能车顶和整体设计可以使Lightyear 0在不充电的情况下行驶数周甚至数月。按照每天约35公里的平均通勤距离，Lightyear 0在多云气候下最多可行驶两个月才需充电。在阳光充足的国家，Lightyear 0的续航时间或长达7个月。Lightyear 0在接入普通家庭电源后充电1小时可行驶32公里。
In fall Lightyear will start-up production, with the first cars reaching their drivers in November.
Lightyear公司将于秋季开始生产，首批太阳能汽车将于11月交付车主。
