Liquid cooling in electric vehicles: What to know to keep EVs on the go
Sponsored By CPC The number of electric vehicles on the road is increasing, but not as quickly as many may think. Fast, efficient and accessible charging is a major barrier to the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly as it relates to longer-distance trips. The current range of today’s electric vehicles is about 200-250… Read more »
Delphi and Cree partner on silicon carbide devices
Delphi Technologies and Cree have partnered to use Cree’s silicon carbide semiconductor technology in Delphi’s electronic systems for EVs. The partnership will combine Cree’s silicon carbide-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with Delphi’s traction drive inverters and DC/DC converters and chargers, aiming to extend driving range and provide faster charging times. To start, Cree’s MOSFETs will… Read more »
