STMicroelectronics signed a long-term silicon carbide supply agreement with Ideal Automobile to help the 800V platform

     According to the official micro message of ST, the company signed a long-term supply agreement for silicon carbide (SiC) with Ideal Automobile. According to the agreement, ST will provide silicon carbide MOSFET for Ideal automobile to support the strategic deployment of Ideal automobile to enter the high-voltage pure electric vehicle market.

     According to reports, ST's silicon carbide has a higher switching frequency, breakdown voltage and thermal resistance, which can significantly improve the performance and energy efficiency of power transistors, which are very important in the high-voltage environment of pure trams. Ideal Automotive's upcoming 800V high voltage pure level station will incorporate ST's third generation 1200V SiC MOSFET technology in the electric drive inverter.

     Meng Qingpeng, vice president of Ideal Automobile supply chain, said: Ideal Automobile is committed to providing family users with luxury electric vehicles beyond expectations. The signing of the SiC supply agreement with ST confirms Ideal Automobile's firm decision to develop pure electric vehicle products. We are optimistic about the future cooperation with ST, the global leader in silicon carbide technology, which is bound to be an innovative and successful partnership.

     Zhiping Cao, Executive Vice President and President of ST China, said: ST is the world's leading company in power semiconductors and wide bandgap technology, and is also a long-term supplier to many well-known automobile manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers. Our silicon carbide supply agreement with Ideal Automobile marks an important step in building on our long-standing cooperation in other automotive applications. ST is committed to supporting Ideal Car to become the leading brand of high-end new energy vehicles in China, providing users with superior vehicle performance and driving range through our SiC innovative technology.

     According to IT Home previously reported that at the Ideal Car held the ideal Home Technology Day conference in June this year, the ideal car released the 800V high voltage platform 5C battery, charging peak power of more than 500kw, 9 minutes 30 seconds of 400 kilometers, charging 22 minutes of 600 kilometers; The 5C fast charge uses a low internal resistance cell to reduce heat production by 30%.

     Ideal Automobile also announced that it will complete the construction of 300 + supercharging stations by the end of 2023, and complete the construction of 3,000 + supercharging stations by 2025. In 2025, the average interval between overcharging stations will be 100 km, and a single station can serve 9-20 vehicles per hour.
