Closed Adopt plans for a common charging cable for all new electronic portable devices

Closed on

The EU has provisionally agreed that all new portable electronic devices must, by autumn 2024, use a USB Type-C charger, regardless of who makes the devices. However, the UK government has said that it is not adopting the same plan.

Adopting a common charging cable would make the UK more sustainable, reduce electronic waste and make consumers' lives much easier.
