What is the payback if you factor in a EV with daily charging and usage?

Depends how you set up your system. Is there battery storage? What hours do you typically work? Would your system be tied to your house panel or a closed system specifically to charge your vehicle?
Worst case scenario, if you have 0 battery storage and work a 9-5 job with the system tied only to your EV there will be 0 benefit in the winter. Sun rises at what, 8:30 am and sets at 4:30 so you will see 0 charge assuming driving time.
There are quite a few variables to your question, that makes it quite difficult to answer.
