荷蘭電動(dòng)汽車初創(chuàng)公司Lightyear發(fā)布了世界上首款可量產(chǎn)的太陽能汽車。據(jù)悉，Lightyear 0是一款家庭轎車，添加了5平方米的太陽能電池板，每天最多可增加約70公里的行駛里程。

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年成立于荷蘭的Lightyear公司將于今年晚些時(shí)候向客戶交付全球首款可量產(chǎn)的太陽能汽車。該公司承諾這款太陽能汽車在夏季可駕駛數(shù)月而無需充電。

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公司將生產(chǎn)949臺(tái)太陽能汽車，這些汽車的引擎蓋和車頂都安裝了曲面太陽能電池板，每天最多可提供70公里的行駛里程。

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.
該公司表示，Lightyear 0充電一次可行駛約624公里。陽光照射1小時(shí)可為車輛增加約9公里行駛里程。

“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.”
公司首席執(zhí)行官兼聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人萊克斯·霍夫斯洛特在Lightyear 0車型發(fā)布會(huì)上表示：“電動(dòng)汽車朝著正確方向邁出了一步，但它們依賴于電力，而電力仍然主要依賴于化石燃料能源。添加太陽能電池板，可以確保車輛能通過太陽能獲得動(dòng)力，并且可以減少車輛充電次數(shù)。”該車售價(jià)為26.3萬美元（約合人民幣176萬元）。

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.
據(jù)Lightyear公司介紹，經(jīng)過優(yōu)化的太陽能車頂和整體設(shè)計(jì)可以使Lightyear 0在不充電的情況下行駛數(shù)周甚至數(shù)月。按照每天約35公里的平均通勤距離，Lightyear 0在多云氣候下最多可行駛兩個(gè)月才需充電。在陽光充足的國家，Lightyear 0的續(xù)航時(shí)間或長達(dá)7個(gè)月。Lightyear 0在接入普通家庭電源后充電1小時(shí)可行駛32公里。

In fall Lightyear will start-up production, with the first cars reaching their drivers in November.
Lightyear公司將于秋季開始生產(chǎn)，首批太陽能汽車將于11月交付車主。
