Range Charging Charging Types

General Charging (0 - 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV

Charging Point:Charging Point	Power:Power	Time:Time
Charging Point:Wall Plug	Power:2.3 kW	Time:30hr 45m
Charging Point:1-Phase 16A	Power:3.68 kW	Time:19hr 15m
Charging Point:1-Phase 32A	Power:7.36 kW	Time:9hr 45m
Charging Point:3-Phase 16A	Power:3.68 kW	Time:6hr 30m
Charging Point:3-Phase 32A	Power:7.36 kW	Time:3hr 15m

Rapid Charging (10 - 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge (SoC) has been reached.

*Petrol annual cost based on 10,000 miles at £1.41/litre. Electric annual cost based on 10,000 miles charging on a flat rate tariff costing £0.27p/kWh. Off-peak tariff based on Octopus Intelligent Go’s time-of-use pricing at 7.5p/kWh. Pricing of tariffs varies by region. Costs shown do not include any additional charges (such as standing charge) or discounts. Assuming 25% of your car battery is charged with solar. Cost projections exclude any export payments. These calculations are based on the manufacturer’s NEDC figures. Your mileage and performance may vary based on the weather, your driving style and type of route driven.

Lightyear 0 EV Charging Guide

Engineered to lead the way as the next generation of BEV’s, this ultra long-range solar-powered car reinvents the wheel when it comes to harnessing innovative tech to travel.

Can I charge a Lightyear 0 at home?

Unlike any other electric car, the Lightyear 0 charges on-the-go and gains up to 70 kilometres of range per day from the sun alone. While less dependent on sockets and cables, you can still plug it in – with 300km of range achievable in a single overnight charge.

How long does it take to charge the Lightyear 0?

8 hours and 34 minutes*

*With a 7kW myenergi zappi, you could charge the battery from empty to 100% in 8 hours and 34 minutes. However, as the Lightyear 0 is 22 AC capable, a 22kW zappi would reduce that time to 3 hours 15 minutes.

What is the range of the Lightyear 0?

340 miles*

*On paper, the Lightyear can travel 340 miles on a single charge – however this does depend on the road, journey conditions and your driving style.

How much does it cost to charge the Lightyear 0?

£3.38*

*Off-peak, just £4.50. However if you were charging off-peak period with solar, it’d cost just £3.38
