    I have two EVs, ebike and escooters. Also 10kWp panels. Thing is that on some days I have to pay to push my solar panels excess power to the grid.

    And during winter I have pay up to 50c/kwh for electricity. Its a scam.

      You appear to live in an area with unusually bad electricity laws or regulations (or lack the infrastructure to disable electricity going into the grid when it’s not needed). Where I used to live, any excess energy put into the grid gives the solar panel owner credits that are used to pay for any electricity drawn from the grid at night (1kwh put into the grid pays for 1kwh taken from the grid), and there is never a fee to transfer electricity into the grid.
