May the battery in your car be the one in your home and that together they provide all the energy for your life. Not only does your car have to be electric; your entire house must join it to be connected to the sun, which provides free, as long as it shines in the Universe, our energy every day.
This desideratum of sustainability to save the planet is not only technically achievable, but the reality in the same Californian homes that were already pioneers in the use of solar energy. Now they are turning the powerful batteries in electric sports cars into the powerhouse of homes that can afford the feeling of not contributing to global warming.

The intelligent use of solar energy adds to the folding and unfolding of furniture and accessories
These batteries are connected to the appliances and the algorithms are in charge of optimizing their relationship with the solar panels to ensure that all the energy used by its residents is renewable. There is the option, already popularized, that, in addition to the solar panels, that power plant of each house is connected to the network to also optimize the loading and unloading schedules according to the cheapest rates. It is an alternative, however, that those who do not need to be aware of the rates have ruled out.
Energy well-being consists precisely in becoming independent from the network and being able to tell guests that all the energy in the house and also in the freezer of the refrigerators is generated at any time by solar heat.

The battery of a powerful car – most are American by now – can store up to a week of the cost of an average household. And that renewable luxury trend is complementing the microliving trend that is all the rage in San Francisco.
One of the reasons, and not the least, is that the digital capital of the US is also the one with the most expensive home in the 50 states, but the dream of any digital millionaire who already has a house with a garden, garage and pool. , but who spends up to three hours commuting between home and the office, is enjoying downtown San Francisco; of its views over the bay and its characteristic nineteenth-century facades on the homeless who now swarm through them expelled from flats they cannot afford.

Hence, the solution that complements solar energy is to put into use the forgotten fourth dimension of any living space: folding and unfolding all the furniture from the ceiling, the walls and the floors so that a room can be several depending on the needs as well. changing residents.
In this way, the robotic spaces can be managed from the same iPad that also connects them to the car battery. Thus, the bedrooms are stored during the day on the ceilings where luxurious double beds fold as if by magic to unfold to the ground only when they are most needed.
Plug-in hybrids with an electric range of more than 40 km receive the 0 Emissions label from the DGT
Within reach of the fingers, a few lucky fingers judging by the prices of Bumblebee, leader in the fourth dimension of Californian residential, today would be the energy and space management of the future.
Over time, home management algorithms catalog all the objects in the house and learn the habits of the residents. So they know that on Mondays at 8 in the morning only daddy has breakfast at his favorite table in front of the window and that, therefore, it is not necessary to lower the big table, but rather the side table and a comfortable armchair. On Saturdays, on the other hand, the whole family, or the group of friends who share the not-so-tiny house when half of it can be folded and unfolded, have breakfast together and the whole set of crockery has to be brought down.

It is about using the three dimensions of any home and not just the surface. For now, it is an elitist solution for the richest, who sometimes avoid the obligatory three-hour daily commute between work and their spacious, but remote, suburban home; but Bumblebee, for example, plans to convert his robots for microliving into packs that allow a bedroom to be placed on the ceiling of the living room for about 10,000 euros and installed in a single day.
