Tesla Swap The World! AEM EV Control System for Tesla LDU Available NOW!

Get ready to Tesla swap the World! AEM EV's comprehensive controls system for EV conversions using a Tesla Large Drive Unit (LDU) Base Drive is available now.

AEM EV’s VCU200 and Tesla LDU Inverter Control Board combo is a thoroughly validated system that delivers OE-level safety, full vehicle control, and increased power. This system eliminates the uncertainty and limitations of CAN-Spoofing control and hobby-level capabilities of Open-Source alternatives.

In this video, engineer Nate Stewart explains how the AEM EV Tesla ICB Controls System integrates into a 2007 Ford Mustang GT (internally dubbed the "Testang"), and how our system can convert your hobby car into a daily driver or track monster. A list of components used for the high voltage system is available here, providing a blueprint to replicate this setup in virtually any chassis.

Complete Control, Maximum Performance and Safety for LDU EV Conversions

AEM EV’s LDU Inverter Control Board (PN 30-8402) replaces the OEM Tesla board in the LDU inverter and connects to the VCU200 over CAN bus. An adapter harness is included with the Inverter Control Board that provides a near plug & play connection except for sourcing 12V power and ground connections. The AEM EV VCU200/LDU Inverter Control Board system is designed for EV conversions; it will not operate an LDU-equipped OEM Tesla vehicle.

The LDU Inverter Control Board for the Tesla LDU and the VCU200 must be used together to achieve the reported power gains and to use the additional control and safety features that the VCU200 provides, including the features listed below:
  • Motor torque management (programmable torque curves) dependent on vehicle operating states and other driver-selectable modes
  • Dynamic torque limits for traction/launch control strategies maximize safety and optimize performance
  • Input characterization including accelerator pedal, brake switch, PRND switches, and other driver/vehicle inputs
  • Accessory control of cooling pumps, cooling fans, lights and more
  • Redundancy and arbitration features for all safety-critical inputs
  • Startup and shutdown sequencing of high voltage components, including independent contactor control
  • CAN message translation for BMS, inverter, PDUs, and other CAN accessories
Diagnostics and fault detection including CAN message timeouts, thermal limits, contactor, and inverter enable cross-checks

INTUITIVE SOFTWARE

AEMcal software for AEM EV VCUs simplifies the process of customizing the power delivery strategies and controlling all the ancillary subsystems of EV motorsports and conversion vehicles. AEMcal software is free to download from our website and it is fully enabled (not a demo version), allowing users to explore its full suite of features and capabilities.

Utilizing a simplified and intuitive graphical interface that combines tables and graphs for implementing strategies for torque delivery, launch control (stationary and dynamic), traction control, regenerative braking, speed limiting, map switching and more, AEMcal software puts an end to the need for stacking multiple controllers to control an EV's propulsion and ancillary systems. AEMcal software is available for download on the Software page at aemev.com.
