Dutch company Lightyear has announced that this fall it will start producing the world's first production car equipped with solar panels.

According to foreign media, the Telegraph reports, Lightyear 0 will have solar panels that charge the electric battery while the car is moving (or remains parked) and the first shipment to Europe may be in November.

The company says the car will be able to move about 620 kilometers without stopping to recharge and will have an additional distance of up to 70 kilometers per day from the solar panels.

For comparison, this is slightly more than a Tesla Model 3 (600 km).

According to the manufacturer, every hour in the sun will add up to 10 kilometers of charge to the battery.

The company even says that in a hot county like Spain or Portugal, if your day trip is less than 35 miles, you will not need to plug in the car for up to seven months.
