We have a 220 volts and 110 volts socket in our home. Will plugging an auto-volt appliance into a 110 volts socket save 50% electricity?

Nope, the amount of power usage (in watts – which is Volts multiplied by amps) will always be the same. E.g. if you connect, say, an appliance that takes 2 amps at 220v (2 Amps x 220 Volts = 440 Watts) into a 110v socket, it will take 4 amps (4 Amps x 110 Volts = 440 Watts), so the power usage will still be the same.
You can’t plug a 12 volt DC device into a 110 volt or 220 volt AC outlet… (Or do you have a 12 volt transformer its plugged into)?
