Welcome to the e3dc_control wiki!

Charge the car battery with excess solar power (adapted to the power drawn by the car, which often does not correspond to the permitted charging current)

        wallbox_power_by_current =
        {
            16: 10500,
            15:  9350,
            14:  8450,
            13:  7800,

Avoid the derating of grid feed-in power (70% of the peak rated power) through delayed charging of the E3DC battery

User controlled during runtime by editing e3dc_directives.yaml:
