Consistent naming for the EV (vehicle) sub-device

What changed

The EV sub-device now follows the same naming convention as the inverter / heat pump / meter / wallbox sub-devices shipped in v0.1.44: a translated label as the device name, with manufacturer and model carrying the actual vehicle make and model from the EV profile.

Field Before After
name "Volkswagen Id.5" "Elektrofahrzeug" / "Vehicle"
manufacturer "1KOMMA5°" "Volkswagen"
model "EV Charger" "Id.5"

The previous values were semantically wrong (the wallbox is the charger; 1KOMMA5° is the integration vendor, not the car maker) and visually inconsistent with the other sub-devices.

What you need to do

Nothing for most users — entity_ids, unique_ids, long-term statistics, automations and Energy-Dashboard config all stay intact. The cosmetic change shows up in Settings → Devices & Services → 1KOMMA5° after the upgrade.

Caveat: Home Assistant's device-registry merge is conservative — on existing installs a plain HA restart sometimes leaves the old name in place. If after upgrading the EV device still shows "Volkswagen Id.5" (or your specific vehicle), disable + re-enable the integration once:

Settings → Devices & Services → 1KOMMA5° → ⋮ menu → Disable → wait a moment → Enable

Fresh installs and new EV-profile additions are unaffected.
