If you are cruising only a flat highway at a fixed speed, then you are better not having a hybrid. As all the energy will be coming from the gasoline engine. And you are not lugging around motors and batteries.
The batteries need to be charged there is no way getting around that. (Solar will assist very very little).
If you will be sending energy from the gasoline engine to the electric motors you will have inefficiencies and you are better off just sending it to your wheels.
If you are doing stop and go or up and down hills then all this changes.
Also if you want performance a hybrid could be beneficial, it could power the front wheels while your gasoline engine powers the back wheels making it a 4 wheel drive so you have more traction.
But what you are describing is like one of those over unity machines.
