New Power Controller for Vehicles
Würth Elektronik ICS has created a new controller for electrical systems in cars. The ePDM 70-150 is an smart solution that combines logic processing, communication, advanced testing, and strong power outputs in a small device.
Features of the ePDM 70-150
The ePDM 70-150 is made for tasks that need careful control and power distribution. It has 9 input connections for signals and 13 output connections for power. These outputs can deliver up to 35 amps of current. It can work efficiently in temperatures from -30°C to +85°C, and it can handle 150 amps at 70°C. It’s protected against harsh conditions with IP67/IP69K ratings, meaning it’s dustproof and resistant to high-pressure water jets.
The ePDM 70-150 can react to different situations, like turning on the in-car display when the door opens. It also has outputs that stay on even when the system is in a low-power mode, which is important for keeping power to vital parts like telematics systems.
Software Updates and Cost Savings
This controller can be updated with new software to keep its functions improving without needing to change the hardware. Using the same hardware for different car models can make the overall cost of the system lower. Small changes in how it works can be programmed in.
Easy Integration and Diagnostics
The ePDM 70-150 is designed to fit easily into existing car designs without needing direct access, which makes installation and cabin design simpler. It has many tools for testing and support, like recording how often the power is switched on or how long each output stays active. This helps with maintenance and preventing problems.
Programming Support
The fully programmable ePDM 70-150 is supported by Würth’s WEcontrol Designer software. It includes a library for the J1939 communication standard and lets you check for errors online.

I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
