New video details PepsiCo’s implementation of Tesla Semi electric trucks
“If you thought Tesla Semis were a bit like Bigfoot—maybe you heard about them, maybe you saw a fuzzy picture, but you weren’t sure if they were real or not—they are real, and they’re hauling real beverages here in Northern California.” So says Mike Roeth, Executive Director of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency,… Read more »
How to power SiC or IGBT half bridges in EVs
Sponsored by Skyworks. When it comes to building power systems, the half bridge switch topology is king. But as they say, the devils in the details. In this whitepaper, we’ll dig into the challenges of designing high-performance half bridges for electric vehicles where it’s imperative to squeeze every drop of performance from a design. Specifically,… Read more »
