As long as sunshine is plentiful, then an EV with built-in solar panels might make sense. The distance to the mainland rendering the chances to ever take such vehicle out of the islands to zero could also be considered.

There's never a reason to take a vehicle back to the mainland. Cheaper to sell a vehicle in HI and buy a different one on the mainland if you're moving.
There's also never a reason to have PV on a vehicle. Maybe there's a good reason 1 out of every million vehicles (non-RV), but that's near enough to zero in my estimation.
