It’s not difficult to find though it can be expensive. I’ve been using Anker multi port type c chargers for years
Comment on The EU common charger : USB-C
AA5B@lemmy.world 10 months agoThat’s what I was hoping but here in the US it’s still difficult to find charging blocks with multiple USB-C ports, and they’re targeted to high end devices, and we still have too many devices with older and nonstandard connectors. I know it’s not our standard but was certainly hoping theEU could create some sanity for all of us

They exist but you won’t find them on the shelf of overly cheap chargers at the grocery store or gas station. Seems most of them cost around $50 or more if they’re worth using. Personally I’ve had good luck with Anker (which I just saw in a target electronics section yesterday!), and I’ve heard good things about uGreen on Amazon.
I currently use a 65 watt gAn charger with 3 ports when I work from home to keep my work laptop topped off plus my phone and one other bonus USB C device. My work laptop complains about the low power charger if I have anything else plugged in but is otherwise fine, and it keeps everything nicely charged at a very rapid pace

Angler has done great products for sure, but how about a cheap 3 port: so far I have my phone, watch and Kindle on usb-c, and only the phone can use any significant power. The three together can use at most , say 30w, and I’d be happy with much less since I just need it fast enough to charge overnight

I got my current charger for about $35 on sale, and it seems the prices are slowly falling, but you certainly have to hunt around a bit. On the upside they seem to now cost less than 3 separate similar quality chargers. I’d say do some hunting around especially online and see what you can find

Huh, sure enough, I quickly found a no-name charger for <$20 with three usb-c ports, totaling 35w. (Actually seems too cheap to trust, but it’s great to see it exists). It looks like there is much better choice/availability than when I last looked back in September
