ᐅ Are home battery storage systems for electric vehicles also not cost-effective? Costs of charging station and battery storage

Hello everyone,
I am planning a 15 kWp photovoltaic system for our single-family house and garage. Currently, without an energy storage system, since according to the latest information, it is still not economically viable. It is often advised against for that reason. Does this apply only to normal household use, or would it be different if you have an electric car?
I have a relatively long commute of 80–90 km (50–56 miles), so I’m considering leasing an electric car.
For that, of course, I would need a wallbox (as the interface between the energy storage system and the car) and an energy storage system. It does sound interesting because I could save a few thousand euros on diesel, and energy storage systems and electric cars are currently subsidized as well.
What additional costs should I expect? According to ADAC, a wallbox with 11 kW charging capacity costs about 500 EUR (e.g., HEIDELBERG Wallbox Home Eco). Accordingly, I would also need an energy storage system with a somewhat larger capacity. With an electric car (e.g., VW ID.3, but no Tesla), the payback period should be significantly shorter, right?
Let me know what you think.
Best regards

Yes, nobody really understands the politics in this regard (as is unfortunately the case with many other issues, often disconnected from the citizens).
Is there still a decision pending on this? The 52 GW cap was officially lifted a few months ago. Are the photovoltaic supporters still waiting for something?
Next year, the tax on self-consumption is supposed to be removed, right? Anything else?

In our case, it no longer fit through the conduit, and drilling an additional hole afterward didn’t seem reasonable to me. Could this lead to significant disadvantages? I might have to try my luck with a repeater then.
The question is how much energy will be supplied via the charging station (wallbox) in the long term, and how much comes through the car itself. I just recently received a plug-in hybrid as a company car. With it, I can control charging, climate control, and departure times directly through the car’s app.

In these cases, the current control system in the car may no longer be sufficient.
However, much of this is still futuristic, and by then there will likely be the next or even the following generation of Wi-Fi, with control logic continuing to evolve.
