EU rules on common chargers apply to laptops from today. It means that all new laptops sold in the European Union must now support USB-C charging.

In December 2024, the rules came into force for mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, videogame consoles, and portable speakers.

Laptop manufacturers were given a longer lead in time to allow for redesign and transition to the common charging system.

    Though, to be fair, Framework laptops can’t charge from all of their ports. The 16 can charge from one port each per side; not sure about the 13 and 12.

      The 13 (amd) can charge from either side not sure if the ports closer to the keyboard also charge at the same speed

      Edit: Apparently they do. (negotiating 3A PD on a first come first serve basis)
