Cars moving to 48V systems
Sort of a cheap hybrid: ETech I'd guess this doesn't apply to diesels.
Forum Discussion
There are several other lines in the sand of safety rules from the regulatory agencies protecting society from themselves...
Like any OEM can NOT use "high voltage" labels for anything under 599 volts...and a big ETC
Like HID headlamps require special wiring, color of that wire, protection for that wire....where the high voltage transformer is located and armor enclosure, etc
Wonder what the charging and delivery converter (chopper circuit) attains in it's highest voltage? It will be higher than than the DC voltage delivered to the motor...maybe AC motors for this app...as they cost less than DC motors...

96 volts DC would be the better jump...than these micro jumps in higher voltage
Everything they say is 'better' is real, but why just to 48 VDC?
Because 50 volts is the dividing line between low voltage vs special high voltage safety regulations. Anything over 50 volts requires special safety enhancements both in the engineering/manufacturing and for servicing.
