Hello @PayalChaturvedi 

Thanks for posting the question in Infineon community 

SiC's(MOSFET and Diodes) are having below mentioned advantages 

1)SiC devices can have higher current densities  compared to Si

2)SiC devices can operate at higher frequencies so that the losses can minimize hence efficiency can improve. 

3)Higher Power density reduced cooling requirements and lower overall system cost.

In the EV industry we need to use Power electronics for EV charging stations, EV power train inverters, Onboard

chargers, compressor inverters.  All these products will replaceable  SiC devices. In Infineon, we have Sic Based

solutions  for EV products some of the reference material and relevant pages are given below

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thanks
