What evcc actually does
evcc is an extensible charge controller for electric vehicles combined with a home energy management system. It coordinates power distribution between your grid, renewable generation sources, and vehicle batteries. Written in Go, it is designed to run locally on your own infrastructure.
Best fit: Self-hosters who want to integrate electric vehicle charging with local home energy monitoring and automation hardware.
Worth knowing: Requires specific hardware integration and configuration for your meters, inverters, and vehicle APIs to function correctly.
Deployment notes
You can deploy it using Docker or standard deb packages, typically requiring persistent storage for configuration files and a reverse proxy for secure web access.
