VisIC and ZF partner on R&D effort to develop EV inverter based on GaN semiconductor technology; focus on 400V

Green Car Congress

D 3 GaN technology has been shown to reduce the power losses by at least 50% while benefiting from the high-yield, low-cost proprietary design of GaN transistors. The inverter—which converts DC power from the traction battery to AC power that drives the motor—is a key part of the electric drive chain.

Gogoro’s new lower-cost electric scooter breaks sales records, begins shipping

Baua Electric

The Gogoro JEGO launched in Taiwan last month, quickly racking up over 6,500 fully-paid pre-orders in that short time. The company’s domestic market of Taiwan is by far its largest, though Gogoro scooters and battery swapping stations have now expanded to much of Asia as Gogoro expands its footprint.

Nanodiamonds enable efficient hydrogen purification

Green Car Congress

ShanghaiTech University (China) and National Central University (Taiwan) were involved in state-of-the-art materials characterizations. Air conditioners are among the most inefficient ways to cool, as a significant amount of the electricity used to power them is used to remove humidity, generating more CO 2 emissions.

Electron sandwich doubles thermoelectric performance

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Hokkaido University and their colleagues in Japan and Taiwan have more than doubled the ability of a material to transform wasted heat into usable electricity by significantly narrowing the space through which spread electrons move, according to a new open-access study published in the journal Nature Communications.
