Install a Tesla Model S or Model X “P” (P90D, P100D) Large Drive Unit (LDU) in any vehicle and achieve complete control with AEM EV’s LDU Inverter Control Board (ICB, PN 30-8402) and an AEM Vehicle Control Unit! This system provides full control of the LDU for programming torque curves, torque limits, regenerative braking, accelerator pedal response, drive-mode switches, and much more. The Tesla LDU currently comes in two versions, Base and Sport.

AEM EV’s Tesla Inverter Control Board acts as a VCU expansion device that replaces the stock Tesla ICB. Once connected to an AEM VCU using the supplied communications harness, calibrators can program propulsion strategies and characterize inputs through the VCU using AEMcal software. AEM EV’s LDU ICB was co-developed with Cascadia Motion, an industry leader in EV propulsion systems, to ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability.

NOTE: The Inverter Control Board must be used with an AEM Vehicle Control Unit for programming and controlling a Tesla LDU. This system is designed for conversion and motorsports vehicles with Tesla LDU swaps. It will not control a Tesla LDU in a Tesla OE chassis

AEM EV 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 EV’s VCU300 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 VCU300 can manage up to four 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 Supported Applications Tab for supported Motors, Inverters Battery Management Systems (BMS) and other EV devices.

Primary functions of the AEM VCU300 include:

Input characterization including accelerator pedal, brake switch, PRND switches, and other driver/vehicle inputs
Redundancy and arbitration features for all safety-critical inputs
Startup and shutdown sequencing of high voltage components, including independent contactor control for each inverter system
CAN message translation for BMS, inverter, PDUs, and other CAN accessories
Motor torque management dependent on vehicle operating states and other driver-selectable modes
Closed-loop motor speed regulation for indirect drive transmission applications
Dynamic torque limits that maximize safety and optimize performance
Accessory control of cooling pumps, cooling fans, lights and more
Diagnostics and fault detection including CAN message timeouts, thermal limits, contactor, and inverter enable cross-checks
