New IDTechEx Report: Power Electronics for Electric Vehicles 2026-2036
Oct 10, 2025
The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) will grow rapidly over the next decade, and the EV power electronics market will grow even faster. To tackle consumer concerns about battery electric vehicles (BEVs) compared to internal combustion engines, automotive OEMs are looking for ways to increase range and speed up charging. Aside from battery and motor technologies, wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, silicon carbide (SiC), and gallium nitride (GaN), have the potential to revolutionize EV powertrains in displacing the incumbent silicon (Si) IGBTs and MOSFETs with 800V architectures and significant efficiency gains.
IDTechEx's new report "Power Electronics for Electric Vehicles 2026-2036: Technologies, Markets, and Forecasts" analyzes the growth potential and future trends in WBG technologies, from the rapid scaling of SiC MOSFETs to the potential of GaN to consolidate itself in the EV power electronics market. The report includes granular forecasts detailing unit sales, power (GW), and market size (US$) demand segmented by inverters, onboard chargers (OBC), and DC-DC converters by voltage (600V, 1200V) and semiconductor technology (Si, SiC, GaN).
