The EVC evolved. Meet the evcX.
If you already know the EVC, you know what a throttle controller can do for your INEOS Grenadier. The evcX takes everything that made the EVC great and completely rewrites it — more modes, more settings, wireless app control, a self-dimming OLED display, dual USB-C ports, and a throttle immobiliser that no standard controller offers.
This is the throttle controller for Grenadier owners who want total command of their vehicle — on the highway, on the track, and deep in the scrub.
How it works: The evcX introduces new reference points into your Grenadier's throttle mapping, modifying the torque request sent to the ECU's throttle tables. The result is faster throttle activation, sharper response on demand — and the ability to dial it back precisely for technical terrain where control matters more than speed.
8 Driving Modes. 32 Settings. Lock Mode. All from Your Phone.
Ultimate9 Mode — Maximum throttle enhancement, instantly. One tap and your Grenadier is running at the highest available sensitivity. No fuss, no levels to scroll through.
Ultimate Mode — Sharpen your throttle response across 9 sensitivity levels for a custom edge that suits your driving style. Perfect for highway runs, overtaking, and towing on open roads.
Launch Mode — Optimised for controlled takeoffs. Delivers maximum throttle enhancement with a modified initial response designed to reduce wheel spin and improve traction off the mark.
Adapt Mode — Takes the guesswork out. Automatically selects the best Ultimate throttle response based on your pedal input in real time. Ideal for mixed terrain, long tours, and towing across changing conditions.
Eco Mode — Softens initial throttle input across 9 levels for precise, controlled power delivery. Essential for technical off-road work, low-traction surfaces, low-speed towing, and heavy traffic situations.
Anti-Slip Mode — Reduces throttle response and limits RPM across 9 levels to help maximise traction on snow, ice, mud, and other slippery surfaces. A genuine game-changer for the Grenadier's off-road capability.
Valet Mode — Limits throttle response and restricts available throttle to approximately 50% maximum RPM. Designed for parking situations and when handing the keys over for controlled use.
Factory Mode — Reverts to OEM throttle feel instantly. Useful when sharing the vehicle or when a stock feel is preferred.
Lock Mode — The evcX's most talked-about feature. Completely blocks all throttle input from the accelerator pedal, immobilising your Grenadier. Combined with removing the driver interface from its mount, it adds a meaningful extra layer of security at camp or anywhere you leave the vehicle unattended.
Wireless Control via the Ultimate9 TC App
The Ultimate9 TC App puts everything in the palm of your hand. Switch modes, adjust sensitivity levels, customise interface layouts and colour schemes (light or dark theme, red/orange/blue accent colours) — all wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0. No mobile data or WiFi required once paired.
Free to download on iOS and Android. Compatible with iPhone and Android smartphones.
Note: Location services must be enabled on your phone for Bluetooth pairing to function — this is a standard requirement for Bluetooth MAC address communication, not a GPS tracking feature.
A Completely Redesigned Driver Interface
The evcX's OLED display is a significant step up from the EVC's LED unit. White OLED delivers crisp, comprehensive on-screen information in any light, with a built-in ambient light sensor that automatically dims the display at night — no manual adjustment needed. Dimensions: 51 x 32 x 8 mm.
Dual USB-C ports mean the interface connects and disconnects cleanly and quickly — no fumbling with proprietary plugs. New dash and vent mount options (sold separately) make placement and removal easy, ideal for activating Lock Mode when you leave the vehicle.
Plug In. 15 Minutes. Done.
Same simple plug-and-play install as the EVC. Unplug the factory throttle pedal connector, clip the evcX in-line, mount the driver interface, pair the app — and you're done. No tools, no wiring, no modifications, no impact on your factory warranty. Fully reversible.
Pairs perfectly with any other performance upgrades. The evcX's 32-level adjustability lets you tune throttle response independently of your ECU tune, exhaust, or intake — including dialling back an aggressive tune when conditions call for it.
