The use of silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors offers a huge advantage for electric vehicles (EVs) due to lower switching losses and higher efficiencies, but cost has always been a drawback. SiC wafer manufacturing can suffer from high costs and lower yields, causing SiC semiconductors to cost up to eight times more than their silicon equivalents. This cost often gets passed on to the end customer, making EVs more expensive.

A “one size fits all” approach for chemical air filtration entails a productivity and safety risk in commercial environments reliant on pure air quality. Trying to use one type of chemical air filter for every scenario may provide protection, but without optimization the protection is both limited and temporary.
