The only thing I can think of is that any electronics that take power from either battery would also force you to take some kind of hit to FE. After all the 12V battery can only get charged when the ICE is running. Whereas the 330V battery gets charged by either re-generative braking or by running the ICE. Remember all vehicle power/accessories gets their power from the 12V battery.
