Rhombus uses Wolfspeed SiC devices to enable faster electric vehicle charging

Bidirectional charging enables power flow between the grid and vehicles, enabling power storage and integration of non-grid renewable power resources

Durham, North Carolina and Shanghai, China, May 12, 2022 — Wolfspeed, Inc. , a global leader in silicon carbide (SiC) technology , recently announced an important collaboration with Rhombus Energy Solutions, a leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging and power conversion technology. Its SiC MOSFETs will be used by Rhombus in its EV2flex™ series of charging infrastructure products . This move will enable Rhombus' products to have higher efficiency, higher power density and faster charging times.

Rhombus' EV2flex™ charging infrastructure includes a range of products that enable fast, bidirectional charging and efficient energy storage. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging supports the flow of power between the grid and the car, allowing a charged car to also become a power source when needed, ultimately enhancing the stability of the grid.

" Wolfspeed has clearly demonstrated the added value of its SiC MOSFETs and we are pleased to be working with them on their advanced technology products," said Deanne Davidson, senior vice president and general manager of Rhombus Energy Solutions. "As Rhombus continues to grow and become a leading supplier of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging systems, Wolfspeed's SiC MOSFETs play an important role as a key component in helping Rhombus meet the needs of the growing electric vehicle DC fast charging market."

"Wolfspeed is excited to collaborate with Rhombus because we believe bidirectional charging is a game-changing technology for grid stability," said Jay Cameron, senior vice president and general manager of Wolfspeed's power semiconductor business. "Our SiC solutions can help accelerate this transformation. SiC improves both power system efficiency and power density, enabling faster and more reliable power delivery. Wolfspeed is leading the industry-wide transition from Si to SiC, which is critical as we pursue more efficient and innovative ways to support the grid, such as bidirectional EV charging."

Wolfspeed is the preferred SiC supplier for Rhombus, with its proud 30-year history of SiC R&D and deep expertise in SiC power devices. Wolfspeed 1200V SiC MOSFETs enable Rhombus' EV2flex-120™ charging infrastructure. Wolfspeed's third-generation MOSFETs provide excellent performance and reliability, fully meeting the requirements of many applications such as industry, energy, and automotive.

The latest addition to the Rhombus EV2flex™ portfolio, the EV2flex-120™ dual channel, will be on display at the 2022 Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Long Beach, California, USA.
