Vehicle-to-Grid
The rules arrived and the first offers launched — while realized participation is still near zero. Announcement and operation, kept apart.
The rules for bidirectional charging arrived in stages: the double grid fee on fed-back electricity fell on 1 January 2026, and the BNetzA's MiSpeL framework took effect on 1 April 2026 — jointly making vehicle-to-grid economically viable on paper for the first time.
The first commercial offers quote savings of roughly €200–400 a year per car.
Operation lags announcement: smart-meter penetration is only about 3%, and no real-world wallbox dimming under Section 14a has been documented — an inference from operator and regulator statements, not a published count.
The rules and the offers are live; realized participation is near zero, gated by the smart-meter rollout.
