E.ON's #V2G tariff in Germany, which works with the newest BMW EV and DC bidirectional home charger, is now accepting applications. As this is Germany, legal and tax clarity was needed on revenues from feeding energy back into the grid: V2G is 'Liebhaberei'. [The simple translation from German is: 'It's a hobby.' However, we could also call it a love affair, which might be more fitting for the symbiotic EV-grid relationship.]

This only applies to a privately purchased car. The "hobby" categorisation does not apply to a company car, even if it is permitted for private use.
For VAT purposes, the simplified "small business" scheme applies to private drivers (register once, no further action required).

More on the BMW bidirectional charger and the BMW/E.ON V2G tariff offer in Germany:
One interesting detail of the #V2G contract is that BMW acts as the fleet aggregator, meaning they decide which vehicles are discharged and when.
