there is a reason cars and trucks switched from 6 volt to 12 volt ... a very long time ago...

and Direct Current was not used for homes and industries.... major voltage drop over short distances..

and why 220volt AC is normal in Europe.. over 120 volt in the USA..

read up on it ... from 100 plus years ago.

have a good day.
