  Let’s hope so, the EU has been on a good streak lately regarding consumer rights.

    Yeah the idea of only needing to purchase and carry one charging brick and USB-C cable for all devices I own is lovely.

    Only issue kind of is smart watches.

      I agree, but it is going to increase the charging time for a car by quite unless the USB spec advances significantly.

      There are edge cases, but it catches above 95% of consumer electronics.

        Oh 100% it’s better than 6 different charging cables for various different devices.

      but trying to fit a receptacle in a smart watch is also not a good solution.

      including a small usb-c to whatever the hell adapter would be great too. just so the cable isn’t in the way all the time.

        I mean I imagine most all smart watches will switch to a portless design with a wireless puck, then you just make the puck detachable from thu cable and with a USB-C port on the side. Problem solved.

      Some kind of adjusted Qi2 standard for all smartwatches would be nice.

        Yeah I mentioned this in another comment, as long as the wireless puck is USB-C then you can still carry just one USB-C cable and power brick.

      My Apple Watch has a usb-c cable with a puck. One charging brick is sufficient, at least for my iPhone, Kindle and Watch. But there are so many other devices

        The issue is then that’s one USB-C to Cable for all your devices except for the watch which needs one USB-C to puck… The solution would be a puck with a detachable USB-C to C cable.
