I think we’ll start seeing more DC outlets in houses. This is the logical progression following more solar & battery deployments.
This is already showing up in leaders like the Tesla Powerwall 3 being DC coupled(input side of battery storage - but similar concept).
Fewer conversions from AC<>DC is more efficient and decreases component cost & maintenance.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about 👉 just imagine outlets that are specifically for LEDs, laptops & battery devices that don’t require this big charging brick!
Agree! Simple example: take the 12V from car battery to 5V USB loaders we all have in cars, but now also at home. Also direct DC-DC plugs for 19V laptops. Much less energy loss. Being a digital nomad myself (check @Dutchramblers ) energy savings are key.

new builds maybe yep
Is this similar to converting US to UK power?
I bought a day light lamp which requires a US power supply and then had to buy a pretty chunky conversion block to bring it down from 240v to 110v.
For some reason it makes me like it more.
Thanks Bryan Johnson 😂
