The problem is not the current. Electrical power is just a bunch of electrons running around some copper.

The problem is standardization. People cannot agree on a standard current to supply. Equipment cannot agree on a stand input current or power plug.

How come it is possible in the automobile: 12V DC socket.

No PhD, not engineer, zapped enough times to know something about electricity
