True, but the car industrys plan was the that dishwasher-in-hummer segment was going to pay the development costs, making "42V electrical" a "high-end-feature", thus making people desire it in lower grade cars, rather than having to actually stuff it down peoples throats. Right now, 42V car are "D.E.A.D" according to my sources in the autoindustry, partly, as you point out, in light of the hybrid/electric market expected to explode, but mostly, because nobody has the money to develop and push the new standard.
