What's unusual about it is it's a 700V motor that takes 600 amps...

It's a Vtrux.115 DOM traction motor

There's a press release with Dana bragging about the inverter being used in Vtrux.

No idea where you're going with all this, Brian...he's looking for a VCU to control the inverter that's already in the truck - the DANA.

3 main reasons to ditch the ICE

1. Less work

2. More range

3. Your lack of knowledge to make a higher battery capacity hybrid work

😈

Important detail: we don't have the software listing. Hence my #1 and #3 response. Is there a coulomb counter, or is it triggered on pack voltage? What's the BMS CAN/LIN messaging?

Could be a bolt-in, could be a controller redo.

With no data it's an expensive crap shoot, which is why many of these got converted back to pure ICE when they stopped working. The latest eBay pricing on VTrux makes that a silly thing to do, so...checkmate.

Sounds simple in theory until you need to integrate that second BMS into the "motor controller" and ICE genset.
