The main focus on an electric conversion is the motor, controller, charger and batteries (and other bits). But one thing I seem to not find much about is the other electrics in the car. Like headlights, tail lights, interior lights, etc. I would assume converting those to LED is a great start. But second to that, does one run it off a separate battery ? Like in a normal car everything is 12V, problem solved. But now on a 144VDC conversion, where does one draw power from for the other electrics lets call it accessories. ---

Normal practice is to utilize a DC/DC converter to reduce voltage to 12 volts for acessory services. ---
