Electric vehicles are taking over like a storm, and Lightyear has developed a new vehicle that can deliver an unprecedented 500 miles of driving in just one charge. 

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly prevalent as governing bodies encourage their uptake in an effort reduce emissions.

Even though they had support from a myriad of countries, there are still issues with finding charging stations and using a vehicle which can cover a significant distance. Dutch company Lightyear now appears to have found a solution to these issues.

In the span of one hour, the EV can charge to be ready for 354 miles. However, the still is a downside to this awe-inspiring technology. The Lightyear One will set electric car fans back $170,000 when it enters production!

While the car is priced at a high point, the team at Lightyear are confident that the technology will eventually become cheaper, and that using solar energy alongside more conventional electric vehicle components will be key in the next generation of EVs.
