How 800V+ Architecture is Redrawing the EV Landscape
2 Min Read June 1, 2026
EV platforms are shifting to 800–1000V architectures, improving efficiency and charging speed while driving SiC and GaN adoption across power systems.
The EV industry's voltage architecture is at an inflection point. BYD's 1 MW Super e-Platform has catalysed a broad industry shift, with 10+ automakers now committed to 800–1000V platforms. The physics are clear: higher voltages mean faster charging, lighter cables, and better efficiency. Meanwhile, SiC dominates high-power applications while GaN gains ground in onboard chargers — reshaping the semiconductor supply chain from top to bottom.
