Next up, USB-C standard for charging electric vehicles!

@catsalad @EUCommission I look forward to the introduction of water cooled USB cables.

@catsalad - I bet you think you're joking.

[julie@merida.hair]

@catsalad@infosec.exchange I can't wait to charge my car on 240w.

[quixoticgeek@social.v.st]

@catsalad and on the apple car you have to flip the car over to plug the cable into the underside...

@catsalad Would love the EU to make USB-C PD charging mandatory e.g. for e-bikes and e-scooters. These proprietary chargers are big, heavy, and a general PITA.

@catsalad SSSHHHH!!!

Oh geez, what if someone heard you? You know they'd actually try to do it...

[breizh@pleroma.breizh.pm]

@catsalad@infosec.exchange Well, electric bicycles are vehicles. And there is already some electric bicycles that support USB-C charging.

So…

@catsalad In Fiat 500s at least … 🤭

@catsalad

Isn't USB only for buses?

@catsalad USB-C MAX

[isocat@tiggi.es]

Did you know‽ The USB (now "USB-A") connector's design was inspired by the twist-tie, which doesn't open when twisted one way _or_ the other until unknowable things align along indescribable axes in inaccessable dimensions.

350kW USB-Very-Fast-Charge

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@julie @catsalad
See, I'm excited to plug my phone into 350kW. Flash charge, indeed.

[robotdiver@starlite.rodeo]

@catsalad

Nothing like 16 years for a single charge.

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@silvermoon82 @julie InstaCharge!

[tiempo@todon.eu]

@catsalad I think only a USB-C could fix me...

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@catsalad @julie
Fwoosh!

[marinheiro@ciberlandia.pt]

@catsalad Is it just me, or do USB-C cables have a shorter life than the older varieties? I keep having to replace them. More vulnerable to internal fraying or something?

[hardcorelinuxuser@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad Interesting idea! If you are in a desert with a Tesla car and a laptop, you can use it to charge the car.
