EU reaches deal to make USB-C a common charger for most electronic devices
By the way, that's also how Tesla and all other cars have the same electric plug in EU(not the USB mandate but the car plug standardisation mandate).<p>Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is what happens if better solutions are found. Will EU block innovation?<p>That question is addressed in the Q&A: <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/QANDA_21_4614" rel="nofollow">https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/QANDA_...</a><p>In essence, they seem to believe that wired charging is mature enough for standardisation but further technologies can be implemented through "Radio Equipment Directive". In the same time, it appears that the  wireless charging is unaffected because the tech is new and fast changing, therefore the manufacturers can include whatever wireless charging they see fit.<p>It really boils down to "No funny cables, why don't you try wireless charging of your liking if USB-C doesn't cut it for you?".
