In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid.

The converted RAV4 is the result of the partnership between Toyota and Tesla Motors announced in May 2010; Toyota has contracted for 2,600 units. The system recovers the energy and converts it to electrical energy, which recharges the battery and extends driving range. The RAV4 EV. Click to enlarge. Powertrain Control.

The Isenbüttel site was chosen for this center and construction of a special research center for electric drivetrains began in 2001. The battery operates at a different voltage level than the fuel cell; hence, there is a DC converter (DC/AC) between the two components—this tri-port converter is located behind the stack.

Starting around 2001, the compound semiconductor gallium nitride fomented a revolution in lighting that has been, by some measures, the fastest technology shift in human history. Switching power supplies are the type used to power virtually all personal computers, mobile devices, and appliances that run on DC.
