New 42Volt systems

[James Montebello]

Higher voltage for the whole system means less current for the same power
(wattage).  Wire gauge is based on current, not power or voltage, so with
less current you can use thinner, lighter wiring and connectors.  Wiring
harnesses weigh a lot, and are getting more complex all the time.
