In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. AC Propulsion’s president, Tom Gage, explains the company’s vehicle-to-grid technology at a 2001 conference in Seattle. They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid.

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? Such a change is actually well underway. This similarity means that there’s little learning curve for engineers making the switch to SiC. The answer is a resounding yes.
