Wow so every piece of electronic eqipment made for cars will need to be converted. And all of the new equipment will not be compatible with older vehicles. That kind of suxs a big one...

if you have a 12 volt system pulling 10 amps you will need a larger wire that a 42 volt system pulling the same amp's.

How is that so?

Battery dies and your totally ████ed

lol, it doesnt even have to die. If it drops to like 70% of its power I bet most of the electronics won't function. At least, the ignition won't even fire.

I would be pretty scared to drive if the brakes were only electronically controlled. Imagine if you snap your serp belt.... no more power.... no more brakes! (after the battery dies)

I bet you get one hell of an arc when you disconnect/connect your battery wires.
