I would say it does. According to [1] 5% of electricity is generated from oil. Also I would guess that this capacity is mostly located in places where other generation types are not available (islands, remote locations etc) and will be overtaken by solar before coal.

Then also there is EV+solar combo (solar owners are more inclined to get ev and vice versa).
