small standalone EV charger questions

Hi I saw the prices of used solar panels and inverters and got the idea to try and make a simple 1-2 panel EV charger that should mostly cover all the energy the car needs. I wanted to ask some questions before I buy anything to make sure I have the right idea.

I know I need the panels a battery and an inverter and I think I also need a charge controller from what i understand the charge controller will stop the power from going into the battery if its full. I also know once I choose the panels I need to make sure I have the correct inverter and charge controller that can handle the max power the panels produce.

But after that I just connect panels to charge controller, controller to battery, battery to inverter and then plug in the EV charger? It seems simple but i just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything or if there's an easier way. I know solar makes dc and battery's charge in dc so maybe there's a way to cut out the inverter but that might get to complex for me since the ev charger itself plugs into a ac wall outlet.

let me know any flaws or concerns with this idea thanks!
