Infineon powers ADVANTICS’ megawatt charging push - Manufacturing Today India

Infineon's collaboration with ADVANTICS in megawatt charging technology represents a significant advancement in power semiconductor applications for the electric vehicle industry. This partnership lev... Read original →

Infineon’s partnership with ADVANTICS signals that megawatt-level EV charging has crossed a critical threshold. Technically, this will force upstream SiC wafer suppliers to scale capacity and yield while accelerating downstream innovations in liquid-cooled connectors and thermal management. Regulatory shifts in the EU and U.S.—tightening efficiency and EMI standards for high-power chargers—will raise system integration barriers, favoring players with full-stack automotive-grade semiconductor capabilities. Competitors like STMicroelectronics and Wolfspeed will likely fast-track their 800V platform alliances. Chinese SiC firms risk exclusion from premium charging supply chains if they fail to demonstrate module-level reliability within 12 months. Within 18 months, megawatt charging will expand beyond heavy-duty trucks into premium passenger EVs, making wide-bandgap semiconductor performance the new battleground.
