DESCRIPTION:As the world transition to a sustainable society\, electrifying
  the transportation sector is one of the major priorities to reach Net Zer
 o emissions. Over 10 million Electric Vehicles (EVs) were sold globally in
  2022. In 2022\, 14% of all new cars sold were electric\, up from a 9% in 
 2021 and only 5% in 2020. As a result of the sustained global R&D efforts 
 over the past two decades\, the performance of modern EVs has improved dra
 matically\, most notably the driving range and the fast-charging performan
 ce.\n\nThis talk will first review the evolving EV landscape\, and then hi
 ghlight recent projects at the University of Toronto Electric Vehicle Rese
 arch Centre (UTEV)\, including wireless charging\, advanced battery manage
 ment systems with built-in state-of-health diagnostics\, high-density fast
 -charger architectures\, Gallium Nitride (GaN) based power converters and 
 ICs\, and fault-tolerant power converter design for supplying safety-criti
 cal on-board computers.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Olivier Trescases\n\nRoom: MC
