This is pointless, as we get European stuff, but I guess it makes sense for those few random things that are made just for the UK.

Academic. The EU has already done it and so we in the UK already have it. Our market just isn’t big enough, relative to it’s locality, to do something different. Whatever the EU does just washes over us. Only now we have no say in the what that is or how it is implemented.

Gotta push the island across the Atlantic I think. Vote on it, I’m sure the logistics will sort themselves out after.

It’s interesting timing, two years after a UK government spokesperson said “we are not currently considering replicating” the EU charging requirement and a full year after the European Union officially mandated USB-C charging for a wide range of electronic devices.
There’s been a bit of a change since then, mate

Is there any electronics made only for the UK? What for example?

Gosh, the money to join the USB-C standard should go into RHS instead!
The Royal Horticultural Society?

Obviously, more plants are needed to combat the destructive USB industry.

We give 300 million a year to the RHS! Those money should go to bri’ish chargers running on bri’ish phones!
