Dual-Motor and Inverter Control Unit

Part Number: 30-8001

AEM's Vehicle Control Units (VCUs) are the missing link for high-performance EV street-conversion and motorsports applications. They allow the calibrator to create customized torque management strategies applicable to a wide range of EV systems and component combinations. They integrate EV systems and unify the tuning experience providing motorsports- and conversion-ready features presented in a high feature, modern and customizable interface. Be In Control with AEM EV.AEM's VCU275 is built on OEM hardware and features OEM quality strategies. Combined, these provide the highest level of reliability, and more importantly, safety for both the programmer and end-user.The VCU275 can manage up to two inverter/motor systems, communicate with three independent CAN bus networks, and it can be used on direct-drive and indirect-drive EV setups. Please refer to the VCU275 Product Description for Setup and Tuning information, List of Supported Motors, Inverters Battery Management Systems (BMS) and other EV devices.
