Most EVs charge daily. The idea is that you can update charging rate/time to match e.g. wind power output, which tends to peak late night/early morning. Dispatchable load is nearly as useful as dispatchable supply for balancing the grid. Discharging the battery to power the household would be a bad idea outside of emergencies, due to the capacity loss you note.
