Then a plug-in isn't the right vehicle for the use case, which would be a regular hybrid.

Yes, a regular hybrid, aka non-plugin hybrid, like I said in post #1 and #9 and #12 and referred to again and again and again and again! I'm glad you finally got it! (Why you didn't understand this from post #9 is beyond me, it was directed directly towards you, and the relevant text was bolded)

because petrol is cheap and ubiquitous, and PV sucks and is expensive.

Petrol isn't cheap everywhere. And PV was expensive, but price has fallen by ~95% since the paper linked to in post #1 was written. $0.25/W is not expensive!

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.

The $600/l price example was used specifically in the context of making you understand that gas doesn't have to be unavailable, just undesirable. The number needed to be exaggerated because you were being resistant to normal numbers. At normal but high fuel prices, you wouldn't jump from a hybrid solution to EV if you couldn't plug in at home or work, because it would be inconvenient and you would be stuck paying high prices a fast chargers.
