Has anyone here already looked into the coalition agreement presented today and its implications for (us) homebuilders?
A positive point for new homeowners could be that there will be an exemption for property transfer tax if the property will be owner-occupied. The rent control measures are planned to be extended. There is a goal to build 400,000 new homes, of which 100,000 will be publicly subsidized.
As the operator of a gas condensing boiler, I would have been very interested to know whether Nord Stream 2 will become operational or not, but I haven’t read anything about that. Natural gas-generated electricity is supposed to be phased out by 2040, whatever “phased out” actually means. In the mid-2030s, natural gas heating systems are expected to be discontinued.

I was actually thinking more about fully charging the car during the day with the photovoltaic system to use it as storage at night.That would be the "summer operation" using the surplus from the photovoltaic system. In winter, you charge when electricity is cheap and then use it in the house when the vehicle doesn’t need full energy and is just parked anyway.M

In the end, the upfront costs will increase significantly for both renovators and new builders, without leading to correspondingly lower operating expenses. Considering the energy required to produce the insulation material, the whole insulation approach is also highly questionable from an ecological perspective, although no one wants to accept this.Doesn’t this largely depend on the type of insulation material used?

Even if only 30% of vehicles are suitable for meaningful bidirectional charging, that is a significant number.
There is no single solution for every situation, so there will always be cases where a fundamentally good solution does not work.
The absurdity becomes clear with an example:
“There is now a new headache pill that is more effective and better tolerated,”
“but most people actually have digestive problems.”
