Wolfspeed Inc. announced that its automotive MOSFETs will power onboard charger systems for Toyota Battery Electric Vehicles. The adoption underscores Toyota’s confidence in Wolfspeed’s ability to meet stringent quality and long-term reliability requirements.
“Toyota is known for its uncompromising approach to quality and reliability, and we’re honored to be supporting their next wave of electrification,” said Robert Feurle, Chief Executive Officer. “Wolfspeed’s U.S.-based supply chain and domestic silicon carbide manufacturing footprint ensure the stability and continuity they need to achieve their electrification goals.”
Silicon carbide has become the industry standard for high-voltage onboard power systems as the automotive sector accelerates toward clean energy vehicles. Beyond enabling fast, efficient, high-power-density traction inverters, silicon carbide brings clear advantages to onboard automotive auxiliary power systems such as onboard chargers—supporting shorter charging times, reducing energy loss across the vehicle, improving driving range, and lowering recharge costs over the vehicle’s lifespan.
“Our work with Toyota is built upon years of trust in engineering expertise, supply reliability, as well as a shared obsession with quality,” said Cengiz Balkas, Chief Business Officer. “This reinforces our role in driving electrification with silicon carbide technology that delivers performance, efficiency and safety.”
Wolfspeed supports a broad range of EV platforms directly with OEMs and through Tier 1 partners, making its technology a foundational element of the expanding EV ecosystem.
