Tesla didn’t invent 48 volts either. The EV and hybrid electric world were talking about 48 volts when Musk still worked at PayPal, if not earlier.

One of the examples pulled out at that time was that you could shave a couple pounds of copper off the alternator by running it at 4x the voltage. Much thinner wires.
