I'm waiting to see the new cars with a 42 volt electrical system, and
how they handle starting in less than ideal situations.
I suspect they'll start more easily, for the same reason 12 volt cars
start more easily than 6 volt ones. Higher voltage means lower current,
and lower current means lower resistive losses in the cables and
connections.
It also means that the battery cables will be a lot smaller. After
all, that was their reason to go to a higher voltage electrical system.
