How can the latest innovations in electric vehicle technology contribute to extending their driving range, an issue at the forefront of the industry?
Senior Director at Allegro MicroSystems, Ram Sathappan, shed some light on the company’s breakthroughs in magnetic sensors and power ICs, while discussing the significant role of energy conversion efficiency in electric vehicles at CES 2024.
“And for that, what we have done is we have created some of the most accurate and high bandwidth current sensors out there, that pair along with their high voltage gate drivers for wide band gap power electronic switches. The combination of those two work very well in creating systems that are smaller, lighter, and allow you to save space and weight, which in the long run actually ends up extending the driving range,” Sathappan said.

About the author
Asking the most exciting, innovative, cutting-edge companies in transportation/mobility the “Are We There Yet?” question is a lot of fun, and the focus of Grant Harrell's top video podcast series! And, it’s not a bad question as so much is truly happening in this space today. What used to be trains, planes, and automobiles is now robots, drones, and spaceships, and Grant is curious about how soon we are all going to see these technologies in action, at scale. Very few of us enjoy a car that drives itself, have dinner delivered via drone, or have taken a vacation to space, but these amazing technologies and applications, as Grant discovers within his "Are We There Yet?" podcast series, are here, or as he likes to say, "we're there"! Grant also serves as the Head of Transportation/Mobility for MarketScale, one of the fastest-growing, most-successful, fun b2b media companies in the industry! MarketScale works behind the scenes for many of the top brands today, building their brand, engaging their communities, and telling their incredible stories! Within Grant's leadership of MarketScale's Transportation/Mobility division, he enjoys working with top companies within automotive to aviation, micro-mobility to marine, drones to space exploration, and everyone in between. And, Grant encourages you to reach out to him directly and set up a meeting, because as he says, "whats the point of all of this transportation/mobility technology development if we aren't headed somewhere fun to meet someone interesting"!
