| Tesla goes from 12-volt to 48-volt |
3/6/2023 |
|
A 48-volt system lowers what’s called “resistive loss.” Cramming all of the energy through 12-volt systems means more resistance, so the system needs more electrical energy. Climate control, driver assist systems, and infotainment requirements mean they all need more electricity. So there is less energy loss, and electric components provide quicker results because there is more electric current.
