I wasn't sure, so I asked:
> Higher voltage systems experience lower power losses over the same distance compared to lower voltage systems. This is due to the fact that power loss in a conductor is proportional to the square of the current. By using higher voltage, you can transmit the same amount of power with less current, reducing resistive losses in the wires.
- jdewerd 3y ago12 Volts is 12 Watts per Amp. 48 Volts is 48 Watts per Amp.

- accrual 3y agoWoosh indeed, haha. I'm no EE but it sounded plausible. Maybe I'll get the joke if I do some actual reading. :)
