The EU common charger : USB-C
  • I read the website but it doesn't say. But it does say that the consumer will have to check that the charger is compatible with the device so you might end up frying your device if you connect them to the wrong USB C Charger (things that were prevented because of the different connectors). I don't say that the directive is wrong but it doesn't go far enough. It should force all devices manufacturers and chargers manufacturers to use the power delivery protocol so consumers don't have to worry about power compatibility between chargers and devices.

    The power delivery protocol allows for the device and the charger to negotiate a charging power.

    Without delivery protocol the charger delivers as much power as it's can so it might fry the connected device.
