Lightyear 0 (2022-2023) achieves a real-world range of 531 km, placing it at №64 among 370 ranked positions. However, this range is subject to several influences:
- Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
- Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
- Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
- Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
- Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.
It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

The Lightyear 0 (2022-2023) in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 22 kW, resulting in approximately 175 km of range added per hour of charging.
For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 75 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
