Estimated prices by model year, from its price when new and typical EV depreciation, and the real-world range you can expect today after about 2% battery wear a year. These are estimates, not valuations: mileage, condition and battery health make a big difference.

Summary
The Lightyear 0 is a 5-seat liftback with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2023, when it cost £265,000 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 10.0 seconds, slower than 90% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 342 miles (550 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 93% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 9th of 38 liftbacks.
It uses around 5.7 mi/kWh (109 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 60 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 60 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 332 miles (535 km) at motorway speeds.
No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).
Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £85,600–£100,200 and a 2023 one at £100,700–£111,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 315 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
