Introducing the VCU300, the latest innovation designed and produced by the AEM team. It is an advanced electric vehicle control unit allowing the user to convert their street-level electric commuters into real motorsports champions. Using intricate algorithms, the unit allows the calibrator to create customized torque management strategies applicable to a wide range of EV systems and component combinations. With a modern, easily customizable interface, the system unifies the tuning process offering lots of useful conversion-ready features.
Use this innovative AEM VCU300 device to be in full control of your electric vehicle. AEM uses OEM-level hardware to build the unit, which is why it provides the highest level of reliability and safety. The system works with both direct and indirect-drive EV setups. You can program the reaction of the accelerator and brake pedals, optimize performance, alter torque management parameters, and more. Besides, the system allows for diagnostics and fault detection including CAN message timeouts, thermal limits, contactor, and inverter enable cross-checks. All the adjustments that the unit makes are fully reversible.
