Cars used to run on a 12-volt system for things like lights and radios. But now, some car companies are switching to a 48-volt system. This new system can handle more power and is better for the environment.
Tesla’s Cybertruck is leading this change, and other car companies are following. They’re doing this in two ways:
- Keeping both the 12-volt and 48-volt systems: This means using both the old and new systems together. It helps with the changeover and makes sure everything still works.
- Switching completely to the 48-volt system: Tesla’s Cybertruck is doing this. It means getting rid of the old 12-volt system and only using the new one. This can make things simpler and more efficient, but it also means redesigning a lot of parts.
This change is a big deal for the car industry. It means cars can use more powerful gadgets and be better for the environment. But it also means a lot of work for car companies to make sure everything works well.
