The trinity of PV curtailment (limiting the highest generation peaks, which are the same for all solar panels in a neighbourhood), heat pump and EV flexibility also reduces the necessary investments in the distribution network.

Flexibility from EV charging and heat pumps reduces the total system costs for Switzerland by 1.7% for heat pumps only, 2.1% for EVs only, and 4.0% for both. Strong modelling results and recommendations to ensure that consumer-friendly flex offers are scaled up.

"on average, the use of an EV would generate an extra-European trade deficit twice as low (-51%) as that of a PHEV or EREV.
[..] battery use - even assuming most of the added value remains outside the EU - combined with European electricity, requires far less extra-EU import value than petroleum"

"Expressed as an equivalent increase in fuel prices in 2025 for an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, these average TCO gaps correspond to roughly +€0.64/l for a new vehicle and +€0.92/l for a 3rd hand vehicle."

Local energy communities meet public EV charging in Burgenland, Austria 🇦🇹.
Discounted EV charging is available at times when there is an abundance of wind and solar energy, reducing the public charging price to €0.26/kWh.

Consumers can also opt for an "impact" tariff with higher peaks, lower lows for flexible consumption such as EV charging. EV off-peak charging can, according to the DSO, save 224 € compared to the standard flat tariff, and 64 € compared to the two-tier one (see above).

Yes, it's not just grey skies; sometimes the sun shines there too (or at least in interconnected countries):
From next year, network tariffs in Wallonia 🇧🇪 will change: off-peak hours will also be introduced in the middle of the day (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

The German car fleet is ageing. Is this an echo of the push/pull mechanisms of years ago, such as environmental zones and scrappage schemes, which have since lost their effectiveness (e.g. all cars produced after 2009 can enter these zones)?
