You may have asked yourself a very valid question about the need for a 12-volt battery in an EV built around a large battery pack and why all EVs have one.

An electric vehicle’s largest, most important and most expensive component is its high-voltage battery pack. Many newer bespoke EVs are built around their battery pack, and some have even incorporated it as an integral part of their chassis structure. The battery pack must store the vast amounts of electricity required by an EV, not only to provide enough power for daily driving but also to ensure a sufficient range to minimize the owners' charging anxiety.

However, a shift is happening, and some vehicles are moving to a 48-volt system, which has many advantages. These include a huge reduction in the cable mass required and having more power to feed systems like active suspension that can’t run on 12 volts.
