I read that another reason for switching to 42V electrical systems was that it would produce enough power to operate a camless (solenoid actuated) valvetrain. Which would be the bomb if it actually comes to pass before the ICE only exists in history books.

As for the ouch factor, I know AC is much nastier than DC volt for volt.
