> 1A: a series arrangement of batteries at a civilized 48V

And here I am mad that home-storage server rack batteries are all 48V it seems, but for the same reasons (huge 400+ amp cables required to get decent wattages). When each car charger can do ~14.4kw you need a lot of fat cables running to battery banks

That's because 48-50V is threshold for "High Voltage", what THAT sign actually signifies, and licenses are required!

Technically not, actually. By the IEC standard, 50V (RMS AC) is about the highest you can go for 'Extra-low voltage'. IEC actually has DC up to 120 V as ELV but often regional standards will have a lower value (like EU seems to be 75V and Australia/New Zealand at 60V)

Only above 1000V RMS AC or 1500 V DC is considered 'high voltage'.

That's why a correct sticker on domestic equipment will usually use the wording 'Dangerous voltage' or 'Hazardous voltage' or the like, not 'high voltage'. An actual correctly placed 'Danger - High Voltage' sign tends to mean something like 11kV AC
