No, it doesn't. 10 miles of range (optimistically) is like 1/4 gallon of petrol. If my driving needs were so little, I'd take an electric unicycle, bicycle, electric assist... and if my travel needs were greater, then PV would be insufficient.
Which part of hybrid did you not understand? (read post #1 again!)

Let me try to construct an example that even you can understand: If petrol was $600/l and you drove 20 miles per day, would you not understand the value of halving your consumption? (no mater how hugging close the gas stations were to you!)

Nobody is spending $135,000 on a Lightyear One because they can't afford petrol on their 5 mile commute.
I agree with this (see post #1) it makes no sense in a pure electric because you have to plug them in anyway!

Even then, they would be way ahead to put the PV in a fixed location and charge their vehicle at that location.
Unless you can't because you don't own the location where you park when the sun is out, or it's different locations every time.
