Accelerate vehicle electrification with the smallest, lightest power modules
Automotive OEMs are setting aggressive goals to electrify their vehicle fleets over the next 5-10 years. To do that, they need to overcome hurdles, not the least of which is how to deliver nearly 20 times the electric power compared to existing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles without taking up valuable package space and adding costly weight. They need to ensure that every EV is compatible with DC fast charging stations along the highway to eliminate range anxiety. And they need to show consumers that EVs have all the comfort, safety, and performance of ICE vehicles. Vicor is partnering with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to help them overcome these hurdles using innovative modular power delivery networks (PDNs). Go to Vicor automotive solutions
Solving the toughest electrification challenges
EV sales for both pure battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are accelerating rapidly
Onboard conversion enables EVs to charge any station
Vicor power module transient response (75A/10µs), is three times faster than 12V, in essence creating a virtual battery
A vehicle has many different power requirements. A modular power approach is inherently more flexible and scalable, able to address these challenges
