All electronic devices sold in the European Union will use the same type of battery charger, USB-C, as of last Saturday, New Democracy Euro MP Dimitris Tsiodras told Skai TV on Saturday.
Tsiodras is a member of the European Parliament’s Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee.
The EU’s Common Charger Directive applies to mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, headsets, videogame consoles, portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems and earbuds sold in the EU. Laptops will need to comply at a later date.
Tsiodras said the measure will make charging devices easier, as consumers will be able to use one charger for all their electronic devices.
