Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, evcc shows the current electricity price but does not support displaying future electricity price forecasts.
For users with dynamic electricity contracts, upcoming price information would help with manual charging decisions.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for displaying electricity price forecast data in evcc.
The forecast should be provided through a dedicated forecast sensor containing future hourly electricity prices. evcc could then display the forecast alongside the current electricity price, similar to the existing solar forecast visualization.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using external tools such as Home Assistant dashboards to display electricity price forecasts separately from evcc.
Additional context
In Finland and other Nord Pool areas, day-ahead electricity prices are available in advance.
Combining electricity price forecast with existing solar forecast visualization would provide a better overview of upcoming energy availability and costs.
