The Dutch startup Lightyear has just released it's first solar car Lightyear One for 119,000 euros ($139,945 usd at the time of this blog post writing.) It has a 500km (310 miles) driving range. At this price, most Dutch must be super rich.
No comment on how it recharges in the winter in the northern European sun, or lack thereof. You might be better off with a $100usd trickle charger in your front window hooked to the cigarette lighter.

Honda releasing hydrogen-powered car in 2016
Honda is planning to release a hydrogen-powered car in March 2016 that, in an emergency, could even power your house.The clean-energy car called the FCV, which emits only water as a waste product, will have a range of 300 miles (480km) and seating for up to five people But problems with hydrogen fuel, such as a lack of infrastructure to support a nationwide fleet of cars, will need to be solved before the technology is adopted.
While hydrogen power burns more cleanly, it does require using energy to split the hydrogen gas from water. The FCV will have a range of 300 miles (480km) between fill-ups and seating for up to 5 children.
