Dublin Electronics: USB-C
Suggestions for electronics - specifically phone (or other) chargers with a "Type G" British BS-1363 type plug (for this 3-prong outlet). More specifically, USB-C chargers.
To date, finding a USB-C charger anywhere has been a bear. No luck in HKG, SIN or anywhere in the ROK where electronics flow like wine - I have typically been getting strange looks and told to just use a "regular" USB charger with the appropriate cable. To any local or other FTer, am I wasting my time looking in DUB?
Cheers

apple store, overpriced stuff... but probably more widespread (for usb type-c cable/chargers), and you know the quality (google type-c cable issues)
their MB charger does 15V/2A and 5V/2.4A i think. no QC, no 5V/3A or higher voltages
(this is the problem with typeC now.. products don't often say which PD profiles/voltages they support
even for your typeC device, do you know what voltage you need? 5V/2.4A can charge all device at the base rate, but doing it for an apple MB will be very slow
