Tesla rival Faraday Future invented its own power inverter, and it’s just as cool as the FFZERO1

After debuting its FFZERO1 concept car at CES this year, Faraday Future is announcing it has patented a power converter that is built for efficiency. The FF Echelon Inverter offers a “simpler, more straightforward design” that achieves 20-30 percent more power density, which transforms energy more efficiently. It was built from scratch; Faraday didn’t want to cobble together off-the-shelf parts, mainly because it wanted to create a converter  specific to the needs of its sleek FF1. Silva Hiti, Senior Director of Electric Drive at FF, says “Condensing the number of transistors and other complex components enhances the inverter’s overall stability…
