By Michael Kern – Jan 24, 2026, 12:00 PM CST The shift to 800-volt systems and Silicon Carbide inverters, while increasing efficiency, imposes extreme thermal and electrical stress on passive components like capacitors, effectively trading short-term battery range for long-term hardware durability. Failures in high-voltage systems, such as a blown $25 fuse in the sealed Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), lead to repair bills between $3,000 and $4,500 because the entire assembly must...
