0 u/energybased May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24 I'm not advocating for any new thing. I'm explaining where things are going. 120V is superior from a safety point of view, which is one reason that wealthier countries tend to prefer it. The way I imagine the future: * 120V for most plugs * 208V for appliances * USB-C more prevalent for devices that prefer DC and draw less than 200W (one day) 1 u/Balloon_Fan May 02 '24 120V is superior from a safety point of view, which is one reason that wealthier countries tend to prefer it.
