Matt GrayI hacked car charging to work with my electric bike!

Sammy Arson Fox :3@mattgrayyes one step closer to my dream of CCS to USB C
Alda Vigdís@theresnotime @mattgrayyes Woah. Imagine a liquid cooled high current USB-C.
Christian Kent 𝘊𝘒 :＼﹥@alda @theresnotime @mattgrayyes imagine any public transit with USB-C
They basically started rolling out USB-A in the late 2010s, so we’re only *checks watch* 20 years away from getting USB-C in the open public spaces
Natanox 🇺🇦🇵🇸@whophd @alda @theresnotime @mattgrayyes Rip. Hamburg's Hochbahn (Subway and busses) already got combined USB-A & USB-C ports.
I only see them being used very rarely though. They also only put out just enough to charge something like a smartphone (Something between 5V 1A and 2A I think, so 5 to 10W). Almost anyone is carrying a power bank by now capable of way more current.

Andrew@Natanox @whophd @alda @theresnotime @mattgrayyes yea I’d rather see the local AC outlet variant than gamble on a USB port
@cinebox @Natanox @whophd @theresnotime @mattgrayyes As someone with a background in the electrical trades, I'd advice against running 230 V AC on a city bus.
@alda @cinebox @whophd @theresnotime @mattgrayyes Doesn't really make sense in terms of usability anyway, those AC outlets wouldn't provide a lot of energy. Regional trains over here often have AC outlets with a sticker telling you not to pull more than 65W (despite the train being connected to a power grid). On a bus the maximum output per outlet would be miniscule.
