If you need one. I would say a heat pump is a better choice if you are looking for a large electrical load. My ductless heat pump cost less than a replacement gas furnace. Both is always an option!
Either way net metering is necessary because both a car and heat pump use the majority of power at night when the solar array isn't producing power.
I charge my EV at work because free is still the best price. The chargers are on a grid-tied solar system.
