Curious about whether you're looking at silicon carbide as a replacement for IGBTs for your inverters. Is the technology practical yet? (I'm a big fan of IGBTs but there's always room for improvement.)

Whoops. Just noticed you mentioned SiC on your website. Guess the answer is yes. Great minds.

Yep! SiC was part of the design DNA from the beginning.
