Nissan Develops New Inverter

For those tech junkies out there, the news that Nissan has developed a new electrical inverter for its battery powered cars will be some good news.

Inverters are used to convert direct current from the propulsion battery to the motor in an electric car or hybrid vehicle. The new inverters will shrink 15 percent in size and 20 percent in weight, allowing Nissan’s electric cars more efficiency and reliability all at once. The key to the new inverter is a more efficient diode, a component that regulates the current between the battery and the motor.

With the more efficient diode and the smaller size, Nissan’s leap into the electric car market looks to be on pretty solid ground. The car company is expected to spring some more new technology on the markets in the coming period of time, bolstering its claim to electric car supremacy even further.

For now, the smaller inverter allows Nissan to create smaller electric cars and improve the function of the motors within the vehicles. By building smaller cars, Nissan also can work towards efficiency and can produce vehicles that will save consumers time and money.

Other Nissan cars face similar improvements, with Nissan experimenting with different facets of automotive construction so as to ensure a better car for all Nissan drivers.
