While it would be nice to have 100v capability, I wonder if it would be needed. Sure, the higher resistance won't matter much if using >50v, but most won't and companies have to manufacture for the majority, not the extreme monority.

OTOH, an ESC for portable transport (like bikes) would make good use of 100v FETs. It's all about target audience. I don't see someone placing a 27s pack in their R/C anytime soon! Just the wiring of the balancer plug(s) alone would be a nightmare! Maybe if someone came out with 10v cells...
