In the field of new energy vehicles, Ideal Automotive has reached an important long-term supply agreement with ST. Ideal Automobile, as a leader in the design, research and development, manufacturing, and sales of high-end electric vehicles in China, is accelerating its pace in the high-voltage pure electric vehicle (BEV) market through cooperation with STMicroelectronics.

With the global automotive industry transitioning towards electrification, reducing carbon footprint has become an industry consensus, and high-voltage battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are favored for their excellent energy efficiency and endurance. Ideal Automobile, known for its Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) technology, is actively expanding into the pure electric vehicle (BEV) field and plans to launch its flagship MPV BEV model in the fourth quarter of 2023.

To improve the performance of electric vehicles, Ideal Automobile will extensively use SIC mosfets in traction inverters, which is in line with its strategy of launching more high-voltage pure electric vehicle models in the future.

The silicon carbide (SiC) devices of STMicroelectronics have significantly improved performance and efficiency due to their high switching frequency, breakdown voltage, and thermal resistance characteristics. These characteristics are particularly crucial when dealing with the high operating voltage required for pure electric vehicles.

Ideal Automobile chooses to apply STMicroelectronics' most advanced third-generation 1200V SiC MOSFET in its future 800V BEV platform traction inverter, aiming to ensure process stability, performance, efficiency, and reliability, thereby consolidating its leading position in the industry.

STMicroelectronics' SiC technology holds a significant advantage in the global market, with a market share of over 50% for SiC MOSFETs, and has been recognized by many leading automotive manufacturers for its outstanding performance. This technology is widely used in car chargers and power modules, and is a powerful driving force for the advancement of electric vehicle technology.
