I wanted to share this opinion on Hackaday about a topic that is the usefulness of a something that has become ubiquitous relatively fast.

This techonolgyy has a lot of potential, what do you think?

      Yeah, but they would be simpler but you would instead have to put powerful DC-DC converters in pretty much everything.

      It sounds like a solution to a problem which isn’t a big deal. In theory it might be nice but it works fine as it is. We know very well how home AC grids work and charging that would be a mess.

        powerful DC-DC

        No, are you not aware how these work?

        A step down DC-DC is nothing compared to a transformer rectifier or PD electronics with communication with a USB-C.

          Maybe, DC wiring at home will never happen though (except in the form of POE).
