Voltage and Power
The voltage of 60V is higher than that of 48V. Under the same current, the electric vehicle with 60V has greater power and may have better dynamic performance.
Endurance Capacity
When the battery capacity is the same, the 60V battery pack stores more electric energy and may have a longer theoretical endurance, but it is actually affected by various factors.
Speed
Generally, the speed of an electric vehicle with 60V is faster than that with 48V, although it is also restricted by factors such as the motor and the controller.
Safety
The 60V has a higher voltage and is more dangerous in case of electrical faults. Moreover, due to its higher speed, it has higher requirements for the braking system.
Cost and Market Positioning
The cost of the 60V battery pack and the whole vehicle is higher. The 48V is suitable for short - distance commuting, while the 60V is suitable for users with higher requirements for endurance and power.
