No! A 110 hp Nissan Leaf or a 700+hp Tesla S have the same quantity of cells in serie (96S) and around the same nominal voltage (350V-360V chemistry dependent).
Remove from the equation all the hybrides, plug in hybrides and after almost all electric car have similar nominal voltage based on a 96S battery. It's the case for Tesla cars, GM Volt, Spark* and Bolt, Nissan leaf, Kia electric cars, BMW electric cars and so.
Commonly available??? I want this, I want this. Where? Where?
Where to find 360vdc input inverter with 120vac output?
*Some Chevy Spark have LFP battery with higher count of cell, but same 360V nominal voltage.
There are 384v inverters for datacenters that work in that rough voltage range (I would think a range would be maybe 350v-400v or something, someone would have to test one on a Leaf or a Tesla and see if smoke comes out anywhere). The SURT8000XLT is rated at 384v with 32 SLA 12v cells.

My APC SURT5000XLT in my Prius is rated at 192v nominal (16 SLA 12v cells from factory), and my Prius hybrid lithium battery is rated at 207.2v (56 cells @ 3.7v)... I just got a cheap SURT6000XLT which is also 192v and will install that into my Prius soon to get up to 4.2kW
But the SURT8000XLT and SURT10000XLT support 384v nominal...
Then you still need a SURT003, for the 240v single-phase > 240v/120v split-phase (if you desired that as well)...
