Nagoya Univ: Adopting GaN for EV, Successful : 2014 Nobel Prize, Professor Amano

Nagoya University: EV of gallium nitride

A research group such as Professor Hiroshi Amano of Nagoya University (received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014) succeeded for the first time in the world in running an electric vehicle with a device using gallium nitride.

Gallium nitride:

Blue light-emitting diode material used in inverters that drive EV motors.

That means more than 20% energy saving compared to conventional silicon.

Professor Amano:

First of all, it is important to be able to reduce the amount of fossil fuel used.

In the future, carbon dioxide emissions can be significantly reduced by being used in EVs.
