Are you sure that's a e-mobility thing? There are all kinds of hyper-efficient 48V DC distribution designs for racks now, and in datacenters the operational costs are overwhelmingly driven by power consumption (and the resulting heat).


Those are either cost effective (at scale) but not well packaged & unobtainable hyperscaler designs or ultra expensive data center gear.

Yes im sure.

There's now a ton of 54v power bricks at a variety of amps (a lot of 4a, 5a) for under $50. Adding poe is much more pedestrian now that these things are common consumer goods.
