Maximizing the autonomy of EVs by reducing complexity and design costs is the main objective of the modern automotive vision. The presence of silicon carbide (SiC) power electronic devices has a significant impact on the EV ecosystem. In this issue, we analyze the importance of SiC in automotive power electronic systems. We will also talk about optical fiber probes for wide bandgap and compare traditional and SiC-based ANPC topologies using thermal models and device losses. Moreover, we describe how electric motorcycles are an important part of the solution to pollution and climate change as the world seeks alternatives to fossil fuels. Don't miss the latest episode of the PowerUP podcast with Antonello Monti, Linux Foundation Energy, and Wine Down Friday with Microchip's Joe Thomsen. This wonderful year spent with you is coming to an end. Thank you so much for following us! I wish you all and your loved ones happy holidays: Merry Christmas and a super 2024 of health and happiness. See you in 2024 with lots of news!
