The DC link capacitor also provides a low-impedance path for ripple currents generated by power switching circuits.
With electric vehicles, inverters are typically optimized for two things - power density and efficiency. Thus, DC link should not be any larger than what the requirements call for. The objective of this article is to help you better understand the role of the DC link capacitor and how to properly size it based off your requirements.

For three-phase inverters at any DC bus voltage, for films and electrolytics, respectively, a rule of thumb is that about 5 and 50 millicoulombs of capacitor nameplate CV rating will be required per amp of ripple current.
In a VSI, the DC link capacitor has two main responsibilities – Provide low impedance path for high frequency currents – As frequency goes up, the battery and cable parasitic inductance cause the impedance to increase. The DC link capacitor impedance goes down so it becomes the preferable path for high frequency AC to circulate.
