Charging Ahead with Wolfspeed SiC
At the center of every electric vehicle is its power source — a battery. To keep this battery charged, electric vehicles are equipped with on-board chargers (OBCs), which
allow users to charge their vehicles via their home electrical system.
Historically, however, on-board chargers have meant slow charging times — a major turn-off for customers considering an EV versus a traditional combustion-powered vehicle. Fortunately, Wolfspeed Silicon
Carbide (SiC) solutions are
changing that narrative.
Wolfspeed is the industry expert when it comes to SiC solutions.
Wolfspeed is ready — are you?
The growth of the electric vehicle market is just starting. Experts predict that by 2022, EVs will be at cost parity with combustion driver vehicles, leading to an exponential growth in the market.
With Wolfspeed SiC, your solutions can be ready for the task at hand.

NOT IF WOLFSPEED SiC IS INVOLVED.
Will electric vehicles leave you stranded?
But despite the increased investment from manufacturers to build the EVs of tomorrow, the consumers of today are still wary. Why? Lingering doubts about the range of electric vehicles and the convenience of charging create a phenomenon called
“range anxiety.”
With Wolfspeed SiC, electric vehicle manufacturers are building on-board chargers that are fundamentally changing the way consumers charge their vehicles. With Wolfspeed SiC (compared to traditional silicon solutions).
