[EVDL] VW is claiming new EVs will use 48-volt systems

2016-02-06 Thread Paul Wujek via EV
Does anyone have any thoughts on VW using 48-volt systems in planned EVs? Here's an article that claims that number (http://www.autoblog.com/2016/02/05/volkswagen-golf-eighth-generation-information/#slide-endcap), and I've seen others that repeat it. This seems a very low voltage for a

I think they are changing the 12V system to 48V. There are so many relatively high power systems running from the 12V system that current is starting to be an issue. Mike On February 6, 2016 8:18:03 PM MST, Paul Wujek via EV wrote: >Does anyone have any thoughts on VW

48 volts does indeed seem low for a modern EV, particularly one that weighs more than 3,000 pounds and is expected to go more than 60 MPH. I had a 48vdc (nominal) Citicar (about 1350 pounds empty) a few years back. It would struggle to go over 35 MPH. With a 450 amp controller, there is about

Indeed seems like a low voltage, it is however all about current. Clearly with a lower voltage they would have to draw significantly more amps. That said if they are boosting the voltage at the battery to AC or DC and to a much higher voltage it becomes moot although the battery pack and the
