48 Volt could easily save several kilogrammes of copper per car.
Wires could be much thinner; even the insulation, strangely enough. With higher voltage and lower amps a short would quickly blow the much smaller fuse, and the voltage differential would make it a snap event instead of a potential smoldering half-short that could cause a fire.
48 Volt is much safer than 12 Volt.
