having paid a visit to a reputable engine tuner this week,he told me that within the next two years, all new cars would have a 36 volt system, as the present 12 volt system can not cope with all the electical load of all the accesories now being fitted.
i know hgv,s have a 24 volt system, but what will the drawbacks be to car owners i wonder?
comments please on this topic, no doubt there will be a good response.
regards
