Not realistically.
EV batteries are anywhere from 40->120kWh in capacity. The average home consumed consumes around 20 to 30kWh a day. Assuming you pair your EV with a solar you aren't likely using a significant portion of the battery throughout the night.
This does depend on the chemistry. If your EV is using LFPs, you have about 10k cycles to play with. NMC has about 1000.
So, for an LFP vehicle it's practically a no brainer.
