Engineering and technology company Bosch has launched the third-generation Silicon Carbide semiconductors, as per the company.
These advanced chips control energy flow within the vehicle’s power electronics, specifically the inverter. This new generation delivers roughly 20 per cent higher performance, translating to a longer driving range without the need for larger batteries, improved battery utilisation, and a lower total cost of ownership for the consumer, according to the company.
Having already delivered over 60 million Silicon Carbide chips worldwide, Bosch said this miniaturisation also allows more chips to be produced per wafer, which cuts manufacturing costs and makes high-performance electronics viable for mass-market electric vehicles rather than just premium segments.
Sandeep Nelamangala, Joint Managing Director of Bosch Ltd and President of Bosch Mobility India, stated that the technology is designed to deliver longer driving ranges, faster charging, and lower long-term costs to meet the demands of Indian consumers. He noted that making high-efficiency power electronics accessible helps unlock the full potential of the EV market.
Markus Heyn, member of the Bosch board of management, reinforced this global strategy, adding that the company’s clear ambition is to be a leading manufacturer of these components and help customers put more powerful, efficient electric vehicles on the road.
