Look under the hood and on every single hybrid and pure electric car you will find a lead acid battery that runs the lights, that lead acid battery is kept charged via a DC to DC converter off of the main battery pack.
Even the Tesla S has a lead acid battery hidden in the front.
Nissan's 12v lead acid battery is under the hood.
