Infineon has introduced SiC power modules capable of handling 1500V DC for high-voltage renewable energy applications and a 22kW on-board charger designed for high-end electric vehicles.
Context
Infineon has launched new 1500V Silicon Carbide (SiC) power modules and a 22kW on-board charger (OBC) to support the global transition toward high-voltage energy systems. The 1500V modules are specifically designed for utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage applications. By increasing voltage from the standard 1200V to 1500V, Infineon enables system operators to achieve higher power density, reduced cabling requirements, and lower overall balance-of-system costs. This move strengthens the company's competitive edge in the industrial decarbonization market.
In the automotive sector, the new 22kW OBC targets the premium electric vehicle segment, offering double the charging power of standard 11kW units. This advancement significantly reduces AC charging times for high-capacity batteries, a critical factor for consumer adoption of luxury EVs. For investors, these product releases signal Infineon’s commitment to dominating the high-growth SiC supply chain as infrastructure and transport sectors demand more efficient, high-voltage power electronics throughout 2025 and 2026.
