Germany Eases Rules for EVs to Sell Power Back to the Grid

Germany's Federal Network Agency adopted the MiSpeL rules covering electricity storage and bidirectional charging. EV owners with V2G-capable cars can store cheap power and sell it back to the grid without losing solar subsidies. Full nationwide implementation may take until September 30, 2027.

• MiSpeL rules let one battery store both solar and grid power without losing subsidies
• Requirements include a V2G-capable car, compatible charger, metering and a specific contract
• Grid and meter companies have until September 30, 2027, to be ready
• A simple V2L outlet for appliances does not qualify a car to trade electricity
