Passion for Technology

When we talk about the All Electric Society, the conversation usually starts and ends with passenger cars. In this episode, Christian Nitsch, Senior Segment Manager Automotive and Transportation at EBV Elektronik, takes it further: onto the roads, the construction sites and the fields. Christian explains why heavy-duty vehicles and agricultural machinery are the next frontier for electrification, which battery and wide-bandgap technologies are driving the shift, and how charging concepts diff...

The All Electric Society is usually pictured as EVs, heat pumps and rooftop solar. The harder question sits underneath: can our grids carry it? Andrej Orel, Segment Director Industrial & Energy at EBV Elektronik, on why one-way grids are reaching their limits, what makes a grid genuinely smart, and which semiconductors make the difference – from power electronics and SiC to sensors and embedded intelligence.

Borut Kastelic, Senior Segment Manager Living & Infrastructure at EBV Elektronik, explains how homes and commercial buildings are turning from passive consumers into active prosumers. The conversation covers photovoltaics, heat pumps, storage and EV charging working as one system, why insulation alone will not get us there, what sensors and edge AI actually contribute, and where interoperability standards such as Matter, Thread and BACnet stand today. Guest: Borut Kastelic, Senior Segme...

In the electronics and semiconductor industry, supply chains have become increasingly complex. Components often pass through several stages – from manufacturers to logistics providers and EMS partners – before reaching the final product. As a result, keeping track of availability, delivery status, and potential bottlenecks has become a major challenge for many companies. In this episode, we speak with Sven Blankenberg, Senior Manager Business Analytics at EBV Elektronik, and Thorsten Eyle, Di...
