onsemi and Geely Integrate EliteSiC in 900V EV Systems to Cut Charge Time 30%
onsemi and Geely Auto Group expanded their collaboration to integrate EliteSiC power modules into SEA-S-based EV platforms, enabling 900V architectures that cut charging times by up to 30% and extend driving range by over 15%. It also boosts power density for faster acceleration and improves thermal performance under demanding conditions.
1. Expanded Collaboration
onsemi and Geely Auto Group have deepened their global partnership, focusing on system-level integration of onsemi’s EliteSiC power modules into Geely’s EV architectures. The renewed collaboration aims to accelerate next-generation electric and hybrid vehicle development and strengthen early-stage platform design coordination.
2. EliteSiC Integration
onsemi’s EliteSiC silicon carbide modules will be embedded in Geely’s SEA-S-based Super Electric Power systems to deliver higher power density in a smaller footprint. This integration streamlines power electronics, contributing to more responsive acceleration and optimized interior space utilization.
3. 900V Architecture Advantages
The 900V architecture enabled by EliteSiC modules reduces charging times by up to 30% and extends driving range by over 15% through lower energy losses. Enhanced thermal performance ensures consistent output under demanding driving conditions, supporting greater reliability and durability.
4. Implications for onsemi and Geely
By collaborating earlier in the vehicle design process, onsemi and Geely aim to bring more efficient, high-performance EVs to market faster. This strategic alignment could strengthen onsemi’s automotive revenue streams and reinforce Geely’s position in the premium electric vehicle segment.
