78 volt systems?
On another thread I commented on a electric waterpump, this got me thinking about all the auto manufacturers we're going to put 78(?) volt systems in cars. This was 12-15 years ago, the higher volts was to run each accesory (a/c,p/s,w/p,ect) when only needed. Seems like they put alot into developing it, but never used it. I guess the gains were not worth the added weight/complexity. Do you guys think they(OEMs) should look at this technology again?
