Fast Charging
By replacing traditional Si components with Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide upgrades, DC fast charger designs can realize significant gains in system efficiency, power density, and reliability.
Silicon Carbide is powering the future for Electric Vehicle Fast Charging
Fast charging DC stations can charge Electric Vehicles in just 30 minutes by bypassing the onboard charger (OBC) for rapid, direct battery charging.
Power Up Faster with Off-Board DC Fast-Charging Technology
When drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) need a charge while on the go, the best option is off-board DC fast chargers, which enable rapid charging of EV batteries. Unfortunately, traditional silicon’s (Si’s) switching performance is limited, which means that even the fastest of Si-based chargers is still going to be too slow for the average consumer’s expectation. Alternatively, Silicon Carbide (SiC) and its unique physical properties enable superior switching speed and higher power delivery— which means an efficient charge.
