Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – INTERSTAR PowerPedal for Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Discover how the INTERSTAR PowerPedal transforms your electric vehicle’s driving dynamics with sharper throttle response and instant acceleration. Learn how the quick plug-and-play installation works, check if your model is compatible, and get clear answers to the most common questions – all in one convenient place.
What effect does the INTERSTAR PowerPedal have on an EV without increasing motor power?
The INTERSTAR PowerPedal fine-tunes the response of your electric vehicle’s (EV’s) electronic accelerator pedal, ensuring the motor’s power is delivered more directly and instantly. The result is a noticeably sportier and more dynamic driving experience, particularly when pulling away from a standstill or overtaking. The actual motor output remains completely unchanged – the system works exclusively on the throttle signal processing, preserving your EV’s original electronics while dramatically improving responsiveness.
Is the INTERSTAR PowerPedal compatible with every electric vehicle (EV)?
The compatibility of the INTERSTAR PowerPedal for electric vehicles (EVs) is determined by the specific accelerator pedal signal protocol your car uses. INTERSTAR develops tailored, model-specific solutions to ensure perfect fit and optimal performance for each vehicle. Our regularly updated online compatibility list shows all EV models currently supported. If your vehicle is not listed, we recommend contacting us directly – in many cases, new applications are already in development or undergoing final testing.
Does the INTERSTAR PowerPedal reduce the range of an electric vehicle (EV)?
The INTERSTAR PowerPedal enhances your EV’s driving dynamics without directly affecting its energy consumption. As with any spirited driving, using the PowerPedal in a sportier manner may result in a slight increase in electricity use – similar to accelerating more aggressively in any car. The module itself draws virtually no power, meaning it won’t reduce your EV’s range. Drivers who maintain a conscious and efficient driving style can enjoy the improved throttle response without experiencing any noticeable loss in range.
How does the INTERSTAR PowerPedal control system work for electric vehicles (EVs)?
The INTERSTAR PowerPedal connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and is operated through the free INTERSTAR app. With just a tap, you can select from three driving modes – Dynamic for balanced everyday performance, Sport for a sharper response, and Race for maximum acceleration – plus an Off mode for complete deactivation when desired. Each mode adjusts the accelerator pedal curve to perfectly match your driving style and conditions. All settings can be changed instantly via your phone, without adding any visible switches or controls to your vehicle’s interior, keeping the cockpit clean and uncluttered.
Does installing the INTERSTAR PowerPedal require disassembly or coding?
No. The INTERSTAR PowerPedal is delivered with a precision-engineered, vehicle-specific adapter cable set that connects directly between your accelerator pedal and the OEM connector. There’s no cutting, soldering, or software coding involved. Installation is completed in just a few minutes, is fully reversible, and leaves no trace – making it perfect for leased vehicles or anyone who wants a non-invasive, plug-and-play upgrade.
Does the INTERSTAR PowerPedal leave any traces in an electric vehicle (EV)?
No. The INTERSTAR PowerPedal does not access or modify your vehicle’s ECU or factory software in any way. Instead, it operates exclusively on the signal between the accelerator pedal and the engine control unit, optimizing throttle response without interfering with core systems. Once removed, your vehicle returns to its exact original state – with no modifications, traces, or residual effects.
How safe is the INTERSTAR PowerPedal for everyday use in an electric vehicle (EV)?
The INTERSTAR PowerPedal is engineered and produced according to the highest international quality and safety standards. Every vehicle-specific configuration is rigorously tested to ensure flawless operation. The system operates independently from all safety-critical components, meaning it has no effect on brakes, steering, or ESP. All factory-installed protection, safety, and monitoring functions remain fully active and unaffected, giving you complete peace of mind while enjoying enhanced throttle response and driving dynamics.
How does the INTERSTAR PowerPedal influence one-pedal driving and regenerative braking?
The INTERSTAR PowerPedal modifies only the accelerator pedal curve, leaving your EV’s one-pedal driving feel intact while making it more agile based on the selected mode. Regeneration is not directly affected, but the timing of power delivery is fine-tuned, which enhances the perceived responsiveness and overall driving experience. For a smoother, more relaxed ride, the “Dynamic” mode is ideal, while drivers seeking maximum acceleration and instant response will prefer the “Race” mode. This flexibility allows you to tailor your EV’s throttle behavior perfectly to your driving style and conditions.
Does the INTERSTAR PowerPedal void my electric vehicle (EV) warranty?
Because the INTERSTAR PowerPedal operates without modifying your vehicle’s ECU or factory software, it typically has no impact on your manufacturer’s warranty. That said, if you have any concerns—especially with leased vehicles—we recommend confirming with your vehicle manufacturer or leasing provider. For your peace of mind, INTERSTAR provides up to a 5-year warranty on the PowerPedal itself, covering both electronics and functionality.
What makes the INTERSTAR PowerPedal different from other throttle response tuning systems?
INTERSTAR delivers a fully vehicle-specific performance upgrade featuring proprietary hardware and finely tuned software for optimal results. Built as a long-lasting plug-and-play solution and proudly manufactured in Austria, it combines precision engineering with exceptional reliability.
