Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) is developing a 48-volt version of its 12 volt electric supercharger based on its variable torque enhancement system known as VTES. At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines.

Maximum EVs nonetheless usefulness a dated platform of 400 volts, however a minimal 800-volt platform would release joule losses and make allowance high-voltage cabling to be downsized, bettering potency and slicing weight. The common unused EV sells for considerably greater than its interior combustion counterpart.

This means that in addition the power demand is more difficult to achieve with engine downsizing and transmission down-speeding alone. The displacement of high wattage loads to a more efficient 48 volt network is expected to be the next step in the development of a new generation of low voltage mild hybrid vehicles. Earlier post.).
