I’m new to EV technology. Just ordered Taycan 4S. Have been reading really informative posts on this forum.

What Taycan functions and components are directly operated by/connected to/powered by the 12 volt system “bus”, and which ones are powered by the 800 volt electrical system?

For example, are the motors directly powered by 800v? How about brake systems? HV battery cooling system, steering, etc.?

I saw a block diagram of electrical power system in one post in the 12 volt battery “cheat sheet” thread. This post

I’m trying to understand what major components/vehicle functions hang off parts of that diagram.

12V - car alarm, lock / unlock etc and other ancillary equipment.

The drive / motor battery is 800V - the rest I'm not sure.
