- The rapid evolution of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates advanced electronic control units (ECUs) for enhanced safety, monitoring, and performance. This study introduces an innovative ECU system designed with a modular architecture, incorporating real-time monitoring, cloud connectivity, and crash sensing. The methodology includes cost-effective design strategies, integrating STM32 controllers, CAN bus systems, and widely available sensors for motor RPM and temperature monitoring. Key findings demonstrate that the proposed ECU system improves data reliability, enhances vehicle safety through crash response systems, and enables predictive maintenance via cloud connectivity. This scalable and affordable ECU is adaptable to a broad range of EV models.
