The automotive industry moved from a 6V supply to a 12V supply more than 30 years ago—and incurred massive investments across the entire ecosystem. The 48V and 12V subnets are to be connected through a bi-directional DC/DC converter, enabling the easier integration of high-current devices into cars at lower cost and with better quality.

Further standards such as LV-148 as defined by the Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) are providing further structure to the 48V nominal voltage approach, which allows high power energy recuperation without exceeding 60V. There is a continual drive within the auto industry for low carbon vehicle technologies.

Next generation batteries will be highly standardized and suitable for use in more than 90% of all Mercedes-Benz cars and vans while being flexible enough to offer individual solutions to all customers. All passenger car and battery assembly sites run by Mercedes-Benz AG will switch to carbon-neutral production by 2022.
The Truth About Cars

Anyhow, it’s rather interesting that while most of the auto industry has been veering toward crossovers and SUVs for the past two decades, the most popular electric vehicles by far are, functionally, sedans. A single motor variant can handle 320 miles on a single charge, where the standard dual motor is rated for 276 miles.

Now, however, given all the market drivers facing the auto industry (regulations, fossil fuel availability, societal changes, etc.), The power electronics converts the direct current (DC) stored in the battery to alternating current (AC). Whereas on the standard Golf (1.6 per 1,000 (Golf BlueMotion) to 6.5

Electric vehicles typically have a smaller operating carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. With the full cradle-to-grave life cycle in mind, the question becomes: does an EV have a smaller carbon footprint over its lifetime than an ICEV? Manufacturing an Electric Vehicle.

Electric vehicles typically have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. For this reason, it’s not only the carbon emissions from using your vehicle to take into consideration but also the manufacturing process. Manufacturing an Electric Vehicle.
