Something does seem amiss.  I've yet to have a bulb go out in 5 years of ownership.

 

There is a DC/DC converter module that regulates the charging of the 12V battery and supplies power for the 12V system.  There is no alternator like a conventional car.  The highest voltage I've seen from monitoring the voltage at the converter was 14.8 V when the State Of Charge of the 12V battery was very low.  Typically, the charging voltage runs about 14.4 - 14.6V until the SOC gets very high.

 

You may want to monitor the 12V battery voltage while driving by one of the following ways:

1) on your smartphone via ForScan (about $30 for ELM327 OBDII adapter and ForSCan App) see forscan.org

2) on the Engineering Test Mode display available on the left hand dash display 

3) on a volt meter that plugs into the cigarette lighter.
