USB-C: The future of charging technology
The European Union common charger directive means that from the 28th December 2024, USB-C will become the mandatory ‘one-size-fits-all’ charger.
The law is expected to benefit all countries as companies launch global products with the standardised USB-C charging port. OE Elsafe have been developing USB-C charging solutions featuring advanced technologies for many years, ensuring our customers the best USB-C charging options available on the market today.

// The future of charging technology
Streamlining charging solutions has been the driving force in the EU USB-C directive. Powering mobile phones, laptops and other devices often requires different charging cables. To address this issue, the new law in Europe promoting a ‘common charger’ standard aims to accelerate the adoption of USB-C across all portable devices. OE believes this new regulation will significantly benefit the way we charge our devices.
The regulation //
The regulation will require companies producing portable devices, including mobile phones, tablets, cameras, to adopt USB-C as the common charging interface. As a result, companies will no longer be permitted to sell devices that rely on proprietary chargers or cables. This is excellent news for consumers, who will benefit from the convenience of a universal charging solution and faster charging times.
// The impact
The EU estimates that the new rules will reduce e-waste by 11,000 tons annually. This is because fewer chargers will be discarded and consumers won’t need to buy new chargers with each device. USB-C also supports fast charging technology, charging devices quicker than traditional chargers.
The future //
The EU law mandating USB-C across all portable devices will have a significant impact on the technology we use daily, shaping the charging infrastructure in the places where we work, travel, and play. The future will be a convenient single USB-C cable to charge all our mobile devices.
