EV Charge
As the batteries and inverter were put into the garage for the solar there is a full power source available and no underground cables would need to be laid from the house to put in an EV charger.

Additional Information Provided By The Owner - Fischer electric radiators.
Each room can be individually controlled by a wireless thermostat. Fischer’s electric heaters should not be confused with traditional night storage heaters; they could not be more different.
Any of the Fischer heaters can be programmed to turn on automatically at any time of day, or can be turned on manually. They are individually controlled heaters. The technology is designed such that the heaters power up for 15 minutes each hour; when they stop using charge, they continue to heat up rather than becoming cooler.

Solar System
There are sixteen 6KW solar panels and two 5KW batteries (in the garage). You can set the batteries to charge (if needed) during your cheaper rate. If you heat your home from the Grid at cheap rate, when that rate ends you will then switch to using electricity stored in your batteries. Depending on lifestyle, and when you require heat, you will aim to heat your house using a combination of cheap rate and solar. During the summer (or technically any time you do not require heating on) currently the largest part of the electricity bill is the standing charge.
