RHODaS Webinar 1: Design of Electric and Electronic Components for EV Powertrains

The RHODaS Webinar Series presents four interconnected sessions exploring the latest European research on next-generation electric powertrain technologies. Hosted by the RHODaS consortium under the Horizon Europe framework, funded by ‪the European Commission‬ and as part of the E-VOLVE Cluster, the webinar series will feature insights from the RHODaS, SCAPE, ‪Maxima‬ and EM-TECH projects, bringing together leading experts in power electronics, digital systems, and sustainability. Each webinar focuses on a specific technological domain critical to the electrification of transport — from component design and thermal management to digital intelligence and circularity. Together, they illustrate how European research is transforming electric mobility through efficiency, reliability, and environmental responsibility. 

This opening session delves into the design of hybrid wide bandgap converters and modular architectures for electric vehicles. Presentations from RHODaS and SCAPE will discuss innovative SiC/GaN topologies, design challenges such as parasitic inductances and layout constraints, and scalable approaches for vehicle power conversion systems.

E-VOLVE Cluster: Increasing Innovation Efficiency to Support the Transition Toward Sustainable e-mobility

The transition to e-mobility is disrupting the automotive market. To facilitate this transition, the European Commission with the support of the 2ZERO partnership is calling for experts to engage in collaborative R&D programs, and develop pre-competitive solutions and methodologies supporting the uptake of e-mobility. The target of this paper is to provide an overview of the granted European projects running under the umbrella of the E-VOLVE cluster, illustrating the complementarity of the different initiatives as well as their coverage of the main priorities as defined by ERTRAC. The focus is set on the targets and outcomes of the projects HiPE, HighScape, RHODaS, SCAPE, EM-TECH and Multi-Moby, addressing innovative components (power electronics, e-motors), advanced control strategies, and circularity for safe, efficient, affordable and sustainable e-mobility.
