Background In 2022, the European Union passed legislation mandating USB-C as the common charging standard for electronic devices. This law requires all mobile phones, tablets, and cameras sold in the EU to have USB-C ports by December 28, 2024, with laptops following suit by spring 2026.
Resolution Criteria This market will resolve to the date when the EU officially announces or implements a new charging standard to replace USB-C as the mandatory common charger. The market will resolve based on:
Official EU legislative documents or directives
Formal announcements from relevant EU regulatory bodies
The date the new standard becomes legally binding
This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.
