High-Density, High-Efficiency Power Electronics
At the heart of Chargeworks’ innovation lies a simple principle: do more with less. By pushing the boundaries of power density (more power per unit volume) and conversion efficiency, we enable EV chargers that are faster, smaller, lighter, and more sustainable.
Traditional silicon devices struggle to meet the demands of today’s EV ecosystem. To overcome this, we leverage next-generation semiconductor materials and advanced converter topologies, enabling compact and reliable charging solutions built for India and designed for the world.

Applications: Onboard chargers (1.1–3.3 kW), portable chargers, compact converters.
Impact: Higher power density vs silicon, enabling ultra-compact designs.
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Strengths: Higher breakdown voltage, better thermal performance, ideal for high power.
Applications: Fast DC chargers, industrial-scale converters.
Impact: Rugged performance for heavy-duty use and higher voltage applications.
Silicon (Si)
Strengths: Cost-effective, mature ecosystem, reliable for lower-power designs.
Applications: Entry-level chargers, cost-sensitive deployments.
Impact: Best suited where compactness and extreme efficiency are not critical.
Why GaN-Based Power Electronics is Better
The Next Leap in Power Electronics
For decades, Silicon (Si) has been the foundation of power electronics. But as the world moves towards electric mobility, renewable energy, and compact consumer devices, silicon is reaching its limits. Gallium Nitride (GaN), a wide bandgap semiconductor, is unlocking a new era of high-efficiency, high-density, and sustainable power electronics.
