Jan Richter, CQO AT ZADIENT:
“Europe’s renewed EV momentum highlights how quickly energy economics can reshape industrial demand. Rising fuel prices are accelerating adoption of electric mobility across several European markets, but the underlying story is equally important: the transition toward higher-efficiency vehicle architectures.
Silicon carbide is becoming a foundational technology in this shift. As OEMs move toward 800V platforms, ultra-fast charging, and improved power efficiency, demand for SiC-based power electronics continues to expand across traction inverters and charging systems.
Beyond automotive growth alone, this trend reinforces a broader strategic objective for Europe: improving energy resilience while strengthening domestic semiconductor and advanced materials ecosystems. For the SiC industry, the acceleration of EV adoption translates directly into growing pressure on scalable, reliable, high-performance material supply chains.”
