Increase EV range 5 to 12% by reducing losses using AI transistor control to increase switching speeds

Pre-Switch is pioneering AI to control power transistors in order to increase inverter switching speeds to new highs. This will reduce motor losses enabling greater EV range. So far, the company has demonstrated an Inverter efficiency of over 99.3% peak efficiency at 100kHz using low only 3 cost SiC 35mΩ MOSFETs.

Join this session at the Charged Virtual Conference on EV Engineering to learn more about using AI transistor control to increase switching speeds and reduces motor losses, resulting in a 5 to 12% increase in EV range.
