Yes, it “could” work but I don’t think it would be cheap to do or very effective.I’d not noticed the 110V supply and had also overlooked the possibility of a 6A charger. That solution would take a long time to charge the PHEV, though, you still need around 10kWh to refill the PHEV from empty.You’d need more than 660W of panels to overcome inefficiencies and a poor solar harvest (cloud or angle of incidence). The battery capacity of the UPS may not matter if charging was only performed whilst the solar gain was large enough to satisfy demand but that would depend on location and time of year. You rarely get “full sun” and cannot expect significant solar gain in Northern regions during Winter.
