Given that your solar setup is oversized for your home's needs, an electric car is a beautiful way to leverage that excess capacity. On that same note, how do you heat your home? Adding some incandescent bulbs during heating season would nibble away at your surplus production while cutting down a bit on whatever heating fuel you buy (assuming you don't already heat with electric).
