ability testing in Pre-Switch’s lab. A successful field test,
of which Renouard is confident, will see the mystery
manufacturer implement Pre-Switch across its EV
lineup, and possibly even invest in the startup.
A hundred years of EV innovation
In Renouard’s mind, Pre-Switch is a significant ad-
vance in power converter technology, one which stands
to increase the efficiency and range of EVs today. But
Pre-Switch is one company working on one type of
inefficiency - as EVs grow into maturity, Renouard is
confident that many efficiency improvements will follow
Pre-Switch’s lead.
“For a hundred years people have been working on
improving the efficiencies of the internal combustion
engine. We’re just now starting this EV revolution.
There are going to be a whole lot of ways we can get
more efficiency out of this system, and Pre-Switch is go-
ing to be just one of many ways,” he predicted.There are going to be a
