Star-crossed startup Lightyear has finally thrown in the towel on attempting to bring its long-promised solar EVs to market – at least one donning its own badge and design language. Like many startups, the solar EV company demonstrated some inspiring and potential industry-changing technology, only to fall short due to a lack of funds.

Earlier this month, researchers from MIT said they had developed a process that within three years could lead to electric car batteries able to recharge in as little as five minutes. Which scheme wins may depend (in addition to financing hurdles) as much on our driving habits and patience as on advances in technology.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Plus you can use solar and break technology, as well as other more experimental technology, and never have to charge it because it would then charge itself. Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Interesting in any case.
