Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors Drive Vehicle Electrification
By Anne-Francoise Pelé
Wide-bandgap?power semiconductors?such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride reduce component size, increase efficiency, and improve performance in hybrid and all-electric vehicles. More and more car manufacturers now bet on SiC and GaN, and chipmakers are transforming their business to take advantage of the electric-vehicle market’s explosive growth.
In a panel session on wide-bandgap semiconductors for EVs at the recent Advanced Automotive Tech Forum, three industry experts discussed efforts to address?GaN and SiC?current challenges and future opportunities.
Minimizing Second-Order Ripples and DC Capacitance for EV Chargers Through SiC-Based Improved Neutral Legs

EV Charge Points in Next-Gen Smart Buildings Will Necessitate Mobile Connectivity
By Colin Abrey
Commercial mixed-use buildings could play a critical role in the?renewable-energy ecosystem, with energy generation now possible at the property level via solar panels, and facility managers should take advantage of the opportunity to consider their energy-management strategies and how to profit from the energy their buildings are generating. The answer could lie in the rollout of electric vehicles (EVs) and the energy-storage infrastructure that supports them.
