University of Tsukuba develops integrated EV charger-inverter
Original: UT spearheads development of novel integrated EV charger-inverter
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have led the development of a novel integrated charger-inverter unit for electric vehicles. The device combines two power electronics functions that are normally separate, a battery charger and a traction inverter, into one system. A combined unit could cut cost, weight and component count in EVs, a step the team says points toward simpler, more efficient vehicle powertrains.
Why now: New EV powertrain technology that could reduce cost and complexity is drawing interest from the auto and clean energy sectors.
