Lux: future use of wide bandgap materials in power electronics will reduce EV cost
Green Car Congress
AUGUST 12, 2014
Power savings in plug-in vehicles versus total savings per car. Wide bandgap materials possess bandgaps—the energy needed to excite electrons from the materials valence band into the conduction band—significantly greater than that of silicon; silicon (Si) has a bandgap of 1.1 Source: Lux.
