Hello from the country with the craziest energy policy

[maddin007]

Hi guys,
I am new here. I have a Nissan Leaf 2 since 2019 with a 40kWh battery and my wife has driven 24'000 km with it. She always drives 90 km to work and back on weekdays. We always charge it on our own property. We come from Germany and live on the Baltic coast. We need around 12,000 kWh of electricity a year, of which we get around 8,000 kWh from the roof. The car is only ever charged in the evening, so we have a small DIY home battery of 120kWh with a 30kW 3-phase Victron inverter. I know that the Nissen can only be charged in single phase. I also have a Chademo Setec V2H inverter with which I would like to discharge the Nissan. I would also like to install a 60kWh battery in the Nissan myself. I have already received some great tips here in the forum, e.g. how to change the frequency of the Setec from 60 Hz to 50 Hz. In Germany, the government is crazy when it comes to energy, so you have to be prepared for anything. And of course I like tinkering with the electrics.

Hey Madden, nice to meet you! How much was your Chadeemo charger? Happy new year.

I'm not sure your country has the craziest energy policies - I see plenty of energy policies, around the world, obviously written by coal, oil and gas lobbyists. Here in "clean green" NZ (btw that is a marketing slogan from tourist agency, not the reality) we have a new government that has restarted drilling for oil, removed incentives to buy EVs, failed to fund a roll out of EV chargers, cancelled plans to investigate pumped hydro storage etc. And thinks the 1960s was a progressive time for energy policies.

Hello fastbike!
I am in London and the energy policy is also very limited and not much developed. I still do not understand why countries have such different changes?
