Very much not likely.

You have to realize how big the batteries are on EVs. It isn't uncommon to have 80 or 100kWh batteries on EVs (and that number is likely to go up.). Even small batteries are around 40kWh.

Average home energy consumption is 30kWh per day in the US. Meaning even for a small battery you are looking at a single extra cycle per day at most. However, if you are pairing your car charging with home solar then you are looking at a more ideal charge/discharge (Possibly keeping the car between 40 and 80%)
