Improvements in battery and charging technologies boosting power demand

Another key driver is the ongoing improvements in battery energy density and charging infrastructure. Battery packs are getting lighter and more powerful with every generation, allowing EVs to travel further on a single charge. Fast charging networks are also expanding, easing customers' range anxiety. These advances are encouraging more consumers to select electric vehicles, knowing that long trips are now feasible. However, higher battery capacities and faster charging rates place greater demands on the electric drivetrain components including the inverter.

More powerful batteries not only require inverters that can handle higher voltages, but also ones capable of withstanding the increased thermal loads of ultra-fast charging. To efficiently charge massive battery packs within a realistic time frame, chargers and inverters need to support power levels well above what was adequate for early EVs. This has automakers seeking next-gen inverters optimized for the latest battery technologies. It is spurring related growth in the aftermarket as well, as existing EVs upgrade to bigger batteries and more advanced on-board chargers. All told, continuous improvements to batteries and infrastructure are fueling demand for more robust and responsive electric vehicle power inverters.
