The transition to 48 volts is underway. Less copper, smaller motors, yadda yadda. Solar voltaics is heavy on higher voltage panels. With a gear reduction starter, an eight AWG wire will feed a starter motor for a 4 cyl engine.
It is not unlikely that during the transition to electric cars, an alternator fitted between the engine and bellhousing could develop 100-amperes potential at 56 volts at an in-gear dead idle. This would make a remote mounted air conditioning feasible for small cars. Electric in the trunk.
Wish they would MANDATE advanced insulation techniques. No the link does not take you to a tricked up photoshop site. What you see is what is real.
