I guess we know something auto manufacturers don't, because there are practically no cars that offer meaningful range-adding PV, which is strong evidence that it's not time to revisit solar hybrids.

Petrol isn't cheap everywhere. And PV was expensive, but price has fallen by ~95% since the pape

What difference does it make to the discussion if a car has the capability to plug in or not? I know you said hybrid (implying no plug), but it doesn't change how retarded solar on a vehicle is, and I'm not following the reason why you're getting upset by my mentioning it.
Any hybrid with sufficient capacity to have meaningful range added by PV would also offer a way to plug in, because that's trivial... and as I said, your PV would best be left stationary where you plug in there.
You're getting hung up on the details when they aren't material to the broader point. I don't take exception to $600/L fictional price, I take exception to any fictitious price that pretends petrol is too expensive and solar is the best solution, because it's still fiction and we live in reality.
... and I'd love to be wrong. Build that 10 mile range affordable solar powered hybrid and prove me wrong.
