Indeed seems like a low voltage, it is however all about current.
Clearly with a lower voltage they would have to draw significantly more
amps.
That said if they are boosting the voltage at the battery to AC or DC
and to a much higher voltage it becomes moot although the battery pack
and the cabling still needs to have the ampacity.

Does anyone have any thoughts on VW using 48-volt systems in planned EVs?
Here's an article that claims that number
(http://www.autoblog.com/2016/02/05/volkswagen-golf-eighth-generation-information/#slide-endcap),
and I've seen others that repeat it.
This seems a very low voltage for a modern EV.
What kind of effects will this have on the design?
