Tesla Confirms The Switch To 48 Volt System via insideevs.com
According to Tesla, the old lead-acid batteries were a major source of failures in Tesla cars, and they needed a replacement about every four years or so. The new lithium-ion batteries are expected to withstand the lifetime of the car , so there should be no replacement needed at all.Tesla says that starting with the, the Optiums robot, and all future electric vehicles, the 48V low-voltage system will be used.
The increase in voltage is a necessity as power demand for onboard electrical devices steadily increases and at 12V, the wires are becoming thick, heavy, and costly. With a 48V system, there will be noticeable weight and cost savings, while at the same time, efficiency might increase. That's a really interesting change, which will also require a new 48V lithium-ion auxiliary battery - in the case of Tesla, it might even be produced in-house .
