Alternative to: tesla app, solaredge monitoring, sma sunny portal, wallbox mywallbox
evcc is an extensible EV charge controller and home energy management system that runs entirely locally, without relying on any cloud services. It integrates with 80+ EV charger, solar inverter, battery, and smart-meter brands to automate PV-surplus and cost-optimized charging, replacing the need for separate vendor cloud apps to manage solar-powered EV charging. Its web dashboard shows live power flows, charging sessions, cost forecasts, and CO2 emissions across multiple chargers and vehicles.
