Because they are apples and oranges and Tesla is using 48v! Jumping a 12v lead acid battery with 48v is a fantastic way to completely fry the ICE vehicle.

- masklinn 3y agoAFAIK Teslas use 12V like everyone else, do you have a source for 48V? However EVs (and hybrids) do tend to have pretty small 12V batteries and I think some of them have switched off of lead-acid: they only need the 12V to boot up the electronics, not to power a starter engine.
- diebeforei485 3y agoTesla has future plans for 48V, but they're still on 12V today.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoSorry, it's 16v (15.5v) 48v is coming later this year.
