One port, one cable, one Europe.

This holiday, unwrap the power of one: USB-C for all.

Yes, not just phones, tablets, and laptops. In three years, every charger will be under the same tree.

Because less waste, smarter choices, mean more for everyone, all year long.

The EU common charger

The common charging solution promotes the use of common chargers for mobile phones and other portable electronic devices.

@EUCommission except ... its impossible to tell what charger & cable has what power capabilities. So yes progress, but ... not progress. A small but valuable addition would be to require power ratings on all devices, and use a color coded style like we use for resistors, maybe with a braille style physical coding for low vision folks.

@EUCommission A win for the people, a loss for the closed-ecosystem corporations :))
