Incorrect state_class

[c0mplex1]

The problem

I created a template sensor to calculate how much power I use to charge my electric car.

The sensor.elektrische_auto entity has the "state_class: total_increasing" attribute, because the sensor reading drops to zero between charges.

When I change state_class to "state_class: total" as suggested, I have negative values ​​in the energy dashboard under the individual devices section.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.11.1
