  wrong answer. It will require a BIGGER battery. The increase in the
  electronic content has driven the POWER requirements up, so that
  the existing 12V systme can't deliver the power without using 4/0
  cables.  They need higher voltages, and maybe slightly reduced..
  current. Its not equal.
  
  MORE POWER !!!

power requirement (higher voltage but less current, that's why they are
doing it), plate surface area will be approximately the same so I doubt they
will require more lead.

Although 4x number of cells means 4x the chance of a cell failing thus much
shorter life.

Car batteries.  The materials of which are approaching 100% recycled as it
is.  
And they're talking about switching away from 12V to a 42V (?) system?  
That's going to need a lot more battery for each car...
