How 48 V architectures are revolutionizing automotive design - Charged EVs

Automotive design is undergoing a profound transformation. The concept of “purpose-driven design” is redefining how electric vehicles (EVs) are conceived. It is no longer just about adapting traditional models, but rather creating them from scratch to take full advantage of the technological advantages of electrification. More space, fewer restrictions. One of the […] This article belongs to Alta Densidad ! The original article can be found here…

How 48 V architectures are revolutionizing automotive design - Charged EVs

For decades, automotive accessories have been powered by a 12-volt electrical system. Now, as an ever-growing list of accessories demand more power, automakers are beginning to shift to 48-volt architectures. Replacing 12-volt systems with 48-volt systems increases efficiency, reduces waste heat, and allows wiring harnesses to be shorter and lighter. The transition to 48 V applies to all vehicles, but it’s especially relevant to EVs, because i…
