#ELECTRIC CAR TUNING CRACKED#

Given time, most car management units can be cracked and tweaked.

#ELECTRIC CAR TUNING UPDATE#

It's not unheard of for an EV maker to release a car, get the car insurance graded and then release a software update later on that increases the power.īattery life may be reduced, range may suffer but you'll get more power.Īs modern electric cars are computerised, you'll need a different skill set to tune and modify them and most manufacturers protect, encrypt or obfuscate the management setup in the computer to make it harder. If you can access the management you can usually bypass some of the safeguards to extract more power.Īs with all cars, manufacturers trim power output to meet reliability and warranty requirements, and are usually overcautious. Having stronger magnets and different windings, from different grades and formulations of copper will produce more power. As more EV's hit the road there will be a vast array of electric motors to choose from, with, we predict a ready aftermarket in upgraded motors.Īll those manufacturers of alternators and brush /brushless electric motors can seize an opportunity here as there existing sources of business dry up. Obviously, power wouldn't be up the level of a true multi motor model, but will exceed the standard model.Įlectric cars use fewer components but have complex control systems, upgrades and tuning are thankfully possible though.Īdditionally adding more powerful motors will help. We have heard of one enterprising Tesla owner tricking it's CMC into thinking it had an extra motor and this enabled the Ludicrous mode! If a model can come with 2 or 4 motors and you only have half of this fitted you can bet there is space to retrofit the motor(s) and subject to wiring and management changes, can be made to work. Some electric car makers specify different models and power ranges, and this is generally a function of the number of motors they have.

Electric motorsĮlectric motors sit at the heart of an EV and are much simpler than a combustion engine, with far fewer parts.Īdding additional motors to each wheel or both axles (Depending on the configuration of the car) will give twice the grunt of the original setup. It is repeated fast charging and holding t at 100% charge that causes the batteries to degrade. TIP: You can prolong the life of your battery by avoiding fast charging every time, and only charging to 80% capacity. As batteries age they degrade, although clever charge discharge management has prolonged them.īattery technology is rapidly evolving, and we are seeing increased capacities, longer life spans, and cooler running with better reliability. Battery tech will always improve, offering more dense storage of power and lower issues with heat.

For example, Tesla batteries are very well designed, from the case which aids cooling to the electrodes/electrolytes formulated. It's not unheard of for batteries to be swapped out from more efficient makers. Heat build up and lower range are the issues you'll have here.

The car management computer (CMC) will generally decide on the power distribution for each motor, and will look at range, battery temperature and current demand from the driver to calculate this.Īlterations to the CMC is possible and you can bypass this, an alternative would be to intercept the sensors and send back false signals so it doesn't cut power or is forced to over power. Increase the battery capacity, and perhaps even running a slightly higher voltage will release more power. When tuning an Electric vehicle for more power you focus on the following areas Battery upgrades

We certainly do not condone this, it's been similar to a host of other equipment and modification and improvement is rarely a cause for malfunction and we are sure if pressed in court manufacturers will have to prove that a mod has caused damage or a problem should they void a warranty but this is currently untested as far as EV's go. It is worth noting that some electric car makers are voiding warrantees, limiting charge and restricting their service if onboard protection detects it has been tampered with (even so called undetectable systems have been detected).

Thankfully it is, although a totally new field, possible to make it faster and more pleasant to drive, so we shall look at the best mods for the new generation of cars.

So add some weight reduction measures and you'll make the cars handling acceleration and braking improve.īut is it possible to increase the power of an electric car? The car is heavier usually because of the batteries. Handling wise the same principles apply, suspension mods geometry etc. "Thank you for reading our tips on tuning EV's"
