No more hustle; starting from 2025, all electronic devices will have the same charger. 

The Spanish Council of Ministers approved the renovation in the sale of electronic gadgets. The Spanish market is now transforming with the introduction of the universal charger; adapted to every device.

The Spanish government will apply the EU directive to provide a universal USB Type C charger in 2025. Spain´s Minister of Digital Transformation, Jose Luis Escriva, revealed that from next year, all mobile phones, tablets and cameras sold in Spain will have the same USB type C charging port. 

The renovation will have to be followed by all manufacturers, including the production of video game consoles, speakers, navigating systems and laptops; for the latter, the enforcement will begin in April 2026. 

With this ground-breaking development, there will be no need to carry a set of chargers or worry about not being able to find a charger that matches your phone; the universal USB type C port will allow us to always stay connected.

The European Commission shared that the new obligation will lead to more re-use of chargers and will help consumers “save up to €250 million a year on unnecessary charger purchases,” marking a breakthrough in the world of technology.
