Importance of Advanced Power Electronics in Next-Generation Electric Vehicles

In this episode of Inside Electronics, we talk to Greg Green, Director of Automotive Marketing at Vicor, about the importance of sophisticated and efficient power systems in the next generation of electric vehicles and the related charging infrastructure. Today’s EVs are at the focus of every developing technology, from AI to wide-bandgap semiconductors, and the supporting power electronics must be as advanced as the systems they are driving. The development of vehicle electrification solutions is driving the evolution of automotive systems design. Any solution provided must both increase the power required to operate the vehicle and influencing how designers source power for various in-vehicle systems.
