The sums look more favourable if you're less pessimistic on the figures used. Octopus Go is still available at 7.5p/kWh, for 4 hours of overnight charging, or about 28kWh.
On a modern car, 25kWh may only be about half a charge. So it's not using a full charge cycle every day. There is no way the battery would need replacing after only 2000 cycles if the charging/discharging is managed properly. The solar battery in my loft has a 10 year warranty*, and is cycled every day, so that's 3600 cycles.
*Or would have if the installer had bothered to register it.
