2025 SEMA Best Emerging Technology Award Winner
 
The Dynam Labs VCU+ is a next-generation vehicle control unit purpose-built for high-performance EV conversions. Recognized with the 2025 SEMA New Product Award for Best Emerging Technology, the VCU+ delivers OEM-level drivetrain control without requiring inverter logic board replacement.
 
For serious builders, this is the brain behind the build.
 
Direct Drive Unit Control — No Inverter Modification
 
The VCU+ enables full control of Tesla and other modern drive units while retaining factory inverter hardware. Supported platforms include:
Tesla Large Drive Unit (LDU)
Tesla Small Drive Unit (SDU)
Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit
Cascadia Motion systems
Nissan Leaf ZE1 / AZE0
 
This allows precise management of torque delivery, regenerative braking, thermal coordination, and vehicle integration within custom chassis applications.
 
Advanced Control Architecture
 
Powered by a high-speed real-time processor, the VCU+ consolidates drivetrain management into a single, professional-grade controller with:
12x12 3D torque mapping
Multi-network CAN communication
SENT and Ethernet support
Integrated GPS
Onboard data logging (128GB)
 
Its Lua-based plugin framework allows advanced users to implement custom logic — including battery conditioning strategies, drive modes, charging behaviors, and vehicle-specific control systems — without modifying core firmware. This provides exceptional flexibility for both single- and dual-motor builds.
 
Bolt App — Real-Time Tuning & Diagnostics
 
The proprietary Bolt App gives builders and calibrators real-time access to system data, tuning parameters, and diagnostics from a streamlined interface.
 
Through Bolt, users can:
Monitor live drivetrain data
Adjust torque and regen maps
Configure drive modes
Access diagnostic information
Log and review performance data
 
This modern software layer makes calibration faster, more intuitive, and more transparent than traditional standalone VCU systems.
Built for Professional EV Conversions
 
Whether you’re electrifying a vintage platform or engineering a high-output custom build, the Dynam Labs VCU+ provides the control authority, flexibility, and software ecosystem required to integrate modern electric drivetrains into legacy chassis architectures.
 
Scotten Motors is proud to offer the VCU+ as part of our supported EV conversion platform.
