As part of a $3M DOE grant, JiangBiao He will spearhead development of an integrated charger-inverter to enable fast charging in electric cars.

 Last year, Kevin Bai’s lab patented two new technologies, developed through industrial collaborations, improving electric vehicle charging and reliability.

Kevin Bai is spearheading efforts to develop a compact drive inverter and motor for EVs that would reduce the size and cost of electric drive trains.

A new feature article published in IEEE Power Electronics Magazine by Associate Professor Hua “Kevin” Bai, Associate Professor Daniel Costinett, and Chancellor’s Professor Leon Tolbert, projects the future trends of EV chargers based on past and present related projects at the University of Tennessee.
