In electric vehicles, SiC chips enable greater range and more efficient recharging, as they use up to 50% less energy. Installed in these vehicles’ power electronics, they ensure that a vehicle can drive a significantly longer distance on one battery charge; on average, the possible range is 6% greater than with silicon-based chips.
