Defining absences for electric vehicles


To better plan self-consumption using electric vehicles, you have the option of specifying day-to-day absences. Absences are longer time periods during which the charging station is not used. You can enter up to 10 time periods during which the defined time window is not taken into account. These absences are not specified for a specific year and should be deleted if they are not recurring absences, such as fixed company shutdowns.
