Tesla launches low-voltage connector standard to simplify EV transition

Tesla has officially launched a new standard for the low-voltage connections in electric vehicles (EVs), which the company says will reduce necessary connection types in most EVs from over 200 to just six.

In addition, Tesla writes that the LVCS suite was designed upon the 48-volt architecture built into the Cybertruck, meeting certain requirements for spacing for 48V operation. The company notes that the 48V architecture requires just a quarter of the current to deliver the same amount of power as commonly-used 12V systems.

...substantially reduced parts and wiring needed in the truck’s low-voltage wiring network.
