Calling @UncleDave @OVERKILL @JHZR2 and others...
We know the new Cybertruck is a 48V system. I have a few questions for the experts, which I am not...
I understand the basics; higher voltage offers the same power at lower current. This reduces heat and allows for use of smaller (lighter) wire and therefore less copper.
I am sure there is more...
What about lights, power seats, etc?
If this is "better", why hasn't it been done yet? Are there other vehicles? Do you expect a major switch to 48V or is it not worth it?
Other benefits? Drawbacks?
Thanks in advance; I appreciate your thoughts.
