Tyler(WA),
FYI large wires cost more than small wires.
The same wattage 6 volt generator costs more than a 12 volt.
The same wattage alternator will cost more in 6 volts than in 12 volts.
The reason the auto makers went to 12 volts was if you save $20 on each car and you are making a million cars a year you will make an extra $20 million a year profit.
If higher voltage is so good why don' t we have 24 volt or 48 volt or 120 volt or 240 volt or 480 volt starting and electrical systems in automobiles?

John,

Hold on to your tractor seat. Newer cars are going to 24 and 48 volt systems as we speak. They are starting with the luxury cars and predict 12v operating systems will be obsolete in 10 years for the very reasons you correctly pointed out.

The reason is because the more things you can use electric to run, the less fuel the car uses. The CAFE for the auto make is the real driving force behind the move to higher voltages. Cost savings drove the change from 6 to 12 volts in the 50s not starting performance. By the way the higher the voltage the more dangerous the electrical systems become. If you want to stay alive you watch what you touch when working with 480 volts.
