🚘🔋 Affordable electric vehicles could already be a reality in Germany 👉 if mobile storage units received the same treatment as stationary storage regarding grid fees and 👉 if smart meters were mandatory for all. 🇪🇺 The EU is requiring these measures by 2025; however, France is already setting an example by implementing them more efficiently and cost-effectively, clearing the way for our V2G launch there. Germany has the potential to lead in affordable e-mobility and the energy transition—if we align the regulatory framework accordingly. What are we waiting for? asked Marcus Fendt in Tagesspiegel Background Verkehr & Smart Mobility: https://lnkd.in/dDQDUugs
