The lowest one I can think of is the GM e-assist, it ran 144v and it sucked.
Ram, Jeep, Chevy, GMC all have 48V mild hybrid vehicle for sale in the USA today. The eTorque system in the Ram 1500 boosts fuel economy by 10% and adds 110 lb-ft of torque at idle. The part cost to RAM is about $350.

Mercedes, VW, Volvo, PSA and other sell 48V mild hybrids in Europe and are rapidly making them standard equipment.

All the major Tier 1 suppliers make a 48V system and expect sales to take off over the next 5-10 years as diesels fade away in light vehicles.
