Even though cars today do more than ever, their ability to take us from point A to point B is their main function.

Electric vehicles rely on traction inverters to drive electric motors to turn wheels.
This presentation from Yageo Group looks into the requirements on passive components – capacitors and inductors – on these very high-power inverters.
