to piggyback off this, 12V components are also everywhere else, so you can use off the shelf components like lights, wiper motors, etc without having a limited production run for high voltage components, which keeps costs down. Doing it this way made it possible to add hybrid systems to traditional vehicles like a camery or an escape. This also enables you to jumpstart a hybrid with another 12V system.
