“Bentley’s are ferociously quick with
effortless refinement. Electrification and
Bentley are the perfect partners”
Adrian Hallmark
CEO, Bentley
“BEVs create a new experience…
we (Pininfarina) work with the most
innovative technology partners”
Per Svantesson
CEO, Automobili Pininfarina
“We (Rimac) want to be leaders in BEV
hypercars and supercars… we
focused on 800V from the start”
Mate Rimac
Founder and CEO, Rimac
“Aston Martin and Lagonda will
both be EV brands. We will
launch our first BEV in 2025”
Lawrence Stroll
Exec Chairman, Aston Martin
“Today’s (new) technology will be standard in five years. We are
developing the next generation PPE (BEV) platform for the

Headwinds are well known…
800V and SiC adoption is the future
EV Industry has reached an inflection point
Exawatt forecasts that in 2024 sales of passenger EVs that incorporate SiC-based
transistors (i.e. SIC MOSFETs) will surpass those based on Si transistors (i.e. SI
IGBTs)
By 2030 Exawatt expects over 95% of passenger BEVs will use SiC MOSFETs in
their powertrains. Exawatt expect BEVs will account for more than 50% of annual
passenger vehicle sales by 2030.
