EV VCU200 Programmable Vehicle Control Unit - 80-Pin Connector, 4 CAN Networks, Single-Motor Control

• Universal

The AEM EV VCU200 Programmable Vehicle Control Unit (part number 30-8000) is a programmable electric vehicle control unit for high-performance EV street-conversion and motorsports applications. AEM EV Vehicle Control Units (VCUs) allow the calibrator to create customized torque management strategies applicable to a wide range of EV systems and component combinations. The VCU200 is built on OEM hardware and features OEM quality strategies, providing the highest level of reliability and safety for both the programmer and end-user. In its default configuration it can manage a single inverter/motor system, communicate with up to four independent CAN bus networks, and be used on direct-drive and indirect-drive EV setups.
