    Yeah the idea of only needing to purchase and carry one charging brick and USB-C cable for all devices I own is lovely.

    Only issue kind of is smart watches.

      I agree, but it is going to increase the charging time for a car by quite a bit unless the USB spec advances significantly.

      There are edge cases, but it catches above 95% of consumer electronics.

      but trying to fit a receptacle in a smart watch is also not a good solution.

      including a small usb-c to whatever the hell adapter would be great too. just so the cable isn’t in the way all the time.

      Some kind of adjusted Qi2 standard for all smartwatches would be nice.

      My Apple Watch has a usb-c cable with a puck. One charging brick is sufficient, at least for my iPhone, Kindle and Watch. But there are so many other devices

        The issue is then that’s one USB-C to Cable for all your devices except for the watch which needs one USB-C to puck… The solution would be a puck with a detachable USB-C to C cable.

        Then I could take a Laptop, Phone, Tablet (if required) and Watch and just one cable/charging brick.

          My watch isblike that. It’s an old Huawei Watch GT and has a puck to charge wich I plug in my USB-C cable in.

            Yeah that would be ideal, I’ve found a few third party solutions with detachable USB-C pucks for the Apple watch, a first party solution would be ideal though.
