Highlights: Release Process, Optimizer, Customizing
Just four weeks after the last highlights post we are back. In the past, our posts were usually several months apart. We are planning to change this. In this blog post, we give an overview of what is new in evcc: the new release process, optimizer progress, config UI improvements, interface customisation and more.
Highlights: Remote Access, iOS Widgets, Optimizer and more
Half a year has passed since the last highlights post. A lot has happened since then with releases 0.301 to 0.311: a new navigation, widgets in the iOS app, remote access, time-based statistics and much more. In this blog post, we pick out a few of our highlights and give a brief outlook on our further plans.

Highlights: Browser Config is Here!
2026 is here and with evcc v0.300, the new year starts with probably the most important milestone: Browser-based configuration is no longer experimental. The most requested feature is finally ready for production use. New users can now set up evcc completely without command line or YAML files.
In this article, we look at the highlights since July 2025 and provide an outlook for the coming year.
Your Car, Your Data? Support the EU Data Act Petition!
Your car constantly collects data – but you can’t access it. The EU Data Act, in effect since 12 September 2025, should change that. Reality looks different: Most car manufacturers offer no or very limited access.
