“Integration of Silicon Carbide Devices in Electric Mobility”
- The shift toward electric mobility is significantly influencing the demand for silicon carbide power semiconductors in modern vehicle systems
- These semiconductors offer improved thermal conductivity, faster switching, and lower energy loss, making them ideal for efficient power conversion
- Automakers are using silicon carbide in inverters, powertrains, and onboard chargers to enhance performance and increase driving range
- For instance, BYD integrates silicon carbide components in its electric vehicles to improve power efficiency and support longer battery life
- This trend is also expanding into commercial transport, supported by the development of fast-charging infrastructure and government incentives promoting clean mobility
