After shipping its first solar EV only weeks ago, Dutch automaker Lightyear has announced that it's suspending production of that model (called the 0) to focus on the more affordable Lightyear 2. It made the move after opening a waitlist for the Lightyear 2 that generated more than 40,000 subscriptions on top of the existing 20,000 pre-orders from fleet owners.
"In order to safeguard our vision, we had to decide to redirect our focus and resources completely towards Lightyear 2," the company wrote in a press release. "This means in effect that we had to suspend the production of Lightyear 0." The company didn't provide a timeline for Lightyear 2 production or other details.
