Stellantis eliminates the EV inverter

Stellantis has designed a battery pack that can supply power directly to a motor, eliminating the need for a charger or inverter, writes Nick Flaherty. The Intelligent Battery Integrated System (IBIS) has been in development at car maker Stellantis for the past six years as a drop-in replacement in existing electric vehicle platforms. The design allows AC power direct to the battery and DC power to the motor by scheduling the output of each cell to create an AC signal.

Inverters

Modern inverters are including more intelligent features to work with other vehicle systems, reports Peter Donaldson Inverters do the conceptually straightforward job of converting an electric current from DC into AC form. As such, they create an essential link between the energy storage system and the motor. Modern inverters use
