The COVID-19 pandemic was a wake-up call for manufacturers. As lockdown orders took hold across the country, many factories scaled back or closed, leaving workers unable to return to their jobs. But while many office staff and managers have been able to work from home, factories have not yet been designed in a way that allows workers on the factory floor to do their jobs remotely. That reality has posed serious operational challenges for manufacturers and economic hardships for workers, but it also has created an opportunity to rethink factory work.

Imagine an electric vehicle charging experience that is just as accessible and convenient as gas fueling. It’s almost here. Researchers have used silicon carbide (SiC) technology to produce rapid charging EV stations that are 60 percent faster and one-tenth of the size of current versions, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for charging stations. This breakthrough has emerged from a collaboration that includes North Carolina State University and PowerAmerica, a Manufacturing Innovation Institute and member of the Manufacturing USA network. This development is made possible by medium-voltage fast charger (MVFC) technology that promises to revolutionize the recharging station and eliminate consumer anxiety about running out of power when driving an electric vehicle (EV).
