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

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

@catsalad There are plenty of Bosch 36V ≤4A e-bike chargers that have no business not being on USB-C (if only USB chargers had the same satisfying contactor ka-chunk…)

@quixoticgeek @catsalad it’s actually even harder to do than you may be imagining because the Apple car is all rounded edges, except that one edge that’s basically razor sharp.

@catsalad Sounds like a hot tip?

I've not seen these connectors. Are they rainproof in a way that USB is not? EV charging connectors do try to be at least rain-resistant, and I've charged my EV in rain without getting a jolt.
