"Just" is doing an awful lot of work in that sentence.
Yes, moving from 12v to 48v reduces the current. That means you can have much smaller gauge wires, it means you lose a lot less power ( powerloss = (II)R ), it means you use a lot less copper and it means you save a lot of weight on wiring and connectors.
That is literally the point.

- maxerickson 3y agoRight, the reason to do it is obvious and the development work is straightforward, it's a step forward but it isn't something to get all breathless about.
