EV adoption is accelerating fast, and the hidden power electronics inside every electric vehicle are becoming more important than ever. In this SmartTechCheck EduSeries episode, Mark Vena breaks down Infineon Technologies’ latest thinking on EV on-board chargers, single-stage converter architectures, SiC vs. GaN power semiconductors, and why flatter, faster, more efficient OBC designs could shape the next phase of EV innovation.

Based on a recent Infineon webinar featuring Torsten Klemmer and Stefan Hanafiah, this episode explains why traditional two-stage EV charger designs are being challenged by single-stage matrix converters built for higher efficiency, lower cost, and better vehicle integration.

Viewers will hear:

✅ Why EV growth is putting new pressure on on-board charger design

✅ How single-stage converters can reduce complexity, cost, and component count

✅ Where CoolSiC and CoolGaN fit in next-generation EV charging systems

✅ Why Infineon’s 7 kW, 11 kW, and 22 kW benchmarks matter for future EV platforms
