Californian Sun charges enough for 40 miles per day. It can be manually charged with a 150 mile range

Thats quite cool.

I think we are going to see a new defacto class of solar cars that are intended for California and the SW of the US.  It doesn't mean you won't find them in places like NYC but they are designed for places that are sunny and warm with no snow.
