Nucular Electronics wins 2026 E-Mobility Award for compact X6F controller

Nucular Electronics Inc. has won the 2026 E-Mobility Awards for Best New E-Mobility Technology after developing a credit-card-sized motor controller that delivers 15 kilowatts of peak power. The win puts a spotlight on high-density power electronics for light electric vehicles and commercial applications.

Why it matters: - Nucular Electronics Inc. is being recognized for a core hardware breakthrough, not just a marketing claim. - The X6F packs 15 kilowatts of peak power into a 227-gram controller with a footprint close to a standard credit card. - The award highlights a shift toward smaller, lighter and more power-dense electronics for electric bikes, commercial fleets and other light EV platforms.

What happened: - Nucular Electronics Inc. won the 2026 E-Mobility Awards in the Best New E-Mobility Technology category. - The award follows more than a decade of in-house circuit design, testing and component development. - The company built the X6F as an ultra-compact motor controller for light electric vehicles.

The details: - The X6F uses top-side cooled TOLT MOSFETs to move heat directly into the aluminum enclosure. - Nucular says the thermal design helps the controller sustain peak power for nearly twice as long. - The controller uses an 8-layer heavy-copper power board with ultra-low-ESR polymer capacitors for high current spikes. - A physically separate logic board reduces electrical noise exposure for the MCU. - Nucular developed bare-metal firmware with more than 200 tuning parameters. - The company connected its hardware ecosystem through the open LEVCAN bus protocol. - The X6F includes recessed IP67 waterproof connectors. - Nucular says the controller has a field failure rate below 1% and carries a 3-year warranty. - The company said the product was designed to outperform the vehicles it powers.

Between the lines: - The award points to a company strategy built around original engineering rather than off-the-shelf hardware. - Dmitry Bogdanchikov, founder of Nucular Electronics Inc., said years of prototypes, testing and firmware revisions went into each product. - Bogdanchikov also said feedback from riders, builders and partners helped improve the hardware. - Winning in a technology category gives Nucular validation on engineering depth, not just product visibility.

What's next: - Nucular said the winner’s trophy is headed to its R&D workshop. - The company is already focused on its next wave of power electronics products. - Nucular continues to design and manufacture motor controllers, BMS units, on-board computers and open communication protocols for light electric vehicles. - More information is available in the company’s announcement at nucular.tech.
