I didn't realize EVs still have a 12V battery, I always assumed 12V accessories are ran directly of the DC-DC converter.

Thanks for pointing that out!

So I'm not even sure in my Volt if the 12v battery even powers the accessories directly, because it's at the _back_ of the car, not up in the front by the accessories.

It's super handy for boosting other vehicles.
