High-voltage DC current is more dangerous and harder to interrupt than the comparatively sedate 48 volts used in smaller vehicles. As the industry gets ahead of the standards, the uncertainty is delaying time to market for many companies, and cutting into profits (to say nothing of potentially endangering peoples’ safety).
