Silicon Mobility improves inverter and motor efficiency through digital control
Silicon Mobility, a provider of digital controls for EV powertrains, says its control system improves inverter and motor efficiency by 2% to 4.6% compared to the industry-standard SVPWM control technique. During the 34th International EV Symposium, Silicon Mobility and Cascadia Motion presented their latest research results, in which Optimized Pulse Pattern (OPP) modulation increased the… Read more »
Silicon Mobility releases new EV powertrain control software
Silicon Mobility has announced the release of OLEA APP INVERTER, a software application platform for control of inverters and electric motors. The application is based on the OLEA T222 FPCUs parallel architecture, which allows real-time control of power electronics and motors. It provides torque and speed control using Field Oriented Control (FoC) and variable Space… Read more »
High voltage technologies for e-mobility
Sponsored by Preh In 2008, there were about 2,000 registered electric cars in Germany. In the same year, Tesla had financial problems and managed to avoid bankruptcy at the last second. Statistics from 2010 show that the e-car manufacturer sold a good 2,000 units of its Roadster model at that time – worldwide. In the… Read more »
Siemens Mobility leads build-out of local charging network in West of England
Following the launch of local public charging network Revive, Siemens Mobility is working with Alfen and ENGIE EV Solutions (formerly ChargePoint Services) to deliver new charging hubs and more than 120 new EV connections across the West of England. Revive is a public charging network that will feature four dedicated charging hubs around Bristol, Bath,… Read more »
2027 Chevrolet Bolt First Drive: $29K price, 262 miles, all the old Bolt virtues
Components borrowed from other GM EVs, a LFP battery, and up-to-date new software gives the classic Bolt a brief new life. The Bolt is back! The new 2027 Chevrolet Bolt has been available at some Chevy dealers since last month, and now we’ve driven it. GM’s lowest-priced EV remains what it always was: a practical… Read more »
Fleet EV charging as a service: how ABM designs, builds and operates depots
EV charging becomes an essential corporate service. “Focus on your core business” is a tried-and-true business maxim. Companies large and small rely on service providers to take care of logistical tasks so they can concentrate on whatever it is they do to generate profit. That’s what ABM is all about—it provides a vast array of services for… Read more »
Infineon launches isolated gate driver ICs with opto-emulator input for SiC migration
As the power electronics industry shifts from silicon IGBTs to SiC MOSFETs—driven largely by the efficiency demands of EV inverters, onboard chargers and DC fast charging—one persistent headache has been the gate driver. Legacy designs built around optocouplers and opto-emulators typically need significant rework to handle SiC’s faster switching speeds and higher noise immunity requirements…. Read more »
Off-highway’s electric shift: why voltage, modularity and e-hydraulics matter
Electrification of off-highway vehicles isn’t new. What’s new is the combination of battery economics, tighter urban rules and a rapidly evolving global supply chain—forces that are pushing OEMs to rethink machine architecture, service strategy and the realities of charging on a jobsite. Danfoss Editron’s Eric Azeroual on off-highway electrification trends Electrification is often framed as… Read more »
