If petrol was $600/L, then it would be foolish to purchase a hybrid because you'd never put fuel in it. Better off spending that money on a pure EV.

Then a plug-in isn't the right vehicle for the use case, which would be a regular hybrid. Your hypothetical situation where petrol is $600/L is not reality. The thread title is "Is it time to re-visit solar hybrids?", which it isn't, because petrol is cheap and ubiquitous, and PV sucks and is expensive.
