In basic terms, the car cannot convert DC back in to AC for use in a house, the charger needs to facilitate that, the only cars that can do this are chadamo equipped cars such as the Nissan leaf when paired with the indra charger, there are and will be others but it's not common place yet4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.2 -

It's misinformation like this rubbish that causes a bad impression of electric vehicles
Someone literally yesterday said the exact same thing to me when I said I had an EV so it's clearly been published by some rag4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.3 -

The Telegraph is also one of the most anti-ev newspapers so no great surprise here
I'm not sure what you're trying to prove, your information and understanding of what's possible is simply wrong, do you not think we might have noticed our batteries being sapped even if it was actually technically possible?
