I've only got 360W of panels, so there's really not much energy to plug out -most of it's already used inside the vehicle.
I'd say a plug out conversion makes little sense- assuming you leave home in the morning and come home in the evening. I'd get about 2kWh per week- about $20 a year saved - vs the cost of a grid tie inverter and the hassle of plugging in, and you know one day you'll drive off with the plug still attached.
