Description

 

Unlock additional range for your electric vehicle! Enjoy simplified and improved day-to-day use of your electric vehicle through an increased range.

The RaceChip RX is attached between the accelerator pedal sensor and the engine control unit. Simple plug & play installation means that it can be fitted without any prior technical knowledge. The signals emitted by the accelerator pedal sensor are adjusted via specially tuned characteristic curves. This results in a more linear torque demand on the electric motor and increased energy recovery when the accelerator pedal is released. As a result, less energy is lost and energy recovery is improved during braking; the same battery capacity will cover a longer distance.

App Controlled:
Switch between Maximum Range and Dynamic Driving with improved energy recovery at the touch of a finger! This makes it easier than ever to control your vehicle’s throttle response. The RaceChip RX and the RaceChip app are easily connected via your smartphone’s Bluetooth. The RaceChip+ app lets you choose between the three individual driving modes and adapt the RX to your personal driving style. From maximum possible range to dynamic driving performance with improved energy recovery.

3 individual driving modes
Fast, intuitive operation
Wireless controls

Brainbox:
The Brainbox is the RX’s brain, controlling the processes required to optimize throttle response and communicating with the RaceChip app via Bluetooth, allowing you to control it via your smartphone. Thanks to its handy size (approx. 70 x 80mm), the Brainbox is very easy to store and fix in the footwell of your vehicle. It doesn’t impact the driver’s legroom due to its low height. It is also possible to mount it in other locations, such as in existing bays or slots, as well as on smooth surfaces in the vehicle.

RaceChip provides easy-to-understand instructions with every RaceChip tuning box. If you run into an issue during install, RaceChip can help you with their knowledgeable customer service team.

Bluetooth Connectivity
Unlike most tuning solutions, RaceChip tuning boxes allow you to connect your smartphone to the tuning box to make changes. Straight out of the box you’re able to switch between three performance levels: Efficiency, Sport, and Race. If you need a customized tuning file, RaceChip can provide a modified tuning file which you can install on the tuning box.
