Analysis: Will Gallium Nitride be used in Electric Vehicle Traction Motor Inverters?
Explore the future of GaN in EVs. This insight analyzes VisIC’s D3GaN tech, challenges GaN myths, and assesses the commercial outlook for GaN vs. SiC and V-GaN.
At the 2025 Mobility Tech Forum, VisIC CEO Dr. Tamara Baksht presented its D3GaN technology, which dispelled the myths surrounding gallium nitride (GaN) – that it cannot support high-power applications, such as electric vehicle motor inverters, and would not be able to compete against silicon carbide (SiC) technology that is now entering the market. Furthermore, there are concerns that competing vertical GaN technology (V-GaN) is not mature enough to enter commercialization. This insight report will look at the commercial potential of these GaN technologies.
