Hmmm...

LJ — 2/4/2002 12:09:59 PM (archived)

I note that the article is dated 1998, and I haven't heard anything about this lately. Is it for real?

Also, the author says that the 12 volt standard is "over 30 years old". In 1968, as far as I know, 12 volt systems had been pretty much standard in most cars for a long time. Was there a formal standard adopted around then? I know some old Beetles had 6 volt systems.
