Tired of looking for your USB wall wart to recharge?

This just popped in my news feed this morning.

These are pretty slick and gives you the ability to have USB charging at your beck and call without wondering where you left the USB charger.

That's my next move. I'll wait for the ones that have a BT receiver, WiFi booster, and Alexa included also.

Tesla would have liked the technology of today. We'd probably have wireless charging at a distance everywhere we go.

I've seen those around online. Fred's Outlet store had one when I was in there the other day. Our kitchen has multi-port wallwarts and our family room has a USB cable next to each of our easy chairs in front of the TV. Our vehicles have USB charging ports. It's a USB world these days.

Next up ... wireless charging everywhere.

To be honest sacrificing a power outlet by adding two usb ports is not that good of an idea imo. You can get a nice multiplug that has usb ports if you don't have enough cell phone chargers.

I agree, but it depends on the room. I specified outlets every four feet along our Kitchen counters when we built, so changing out an outlet from 2 110vac to one 110vac and a USB port isn't a bad idea at all. As I speak, there are two 4 port USB adapters plugged into a couple of corner outlets along the kitchen counter. When you do that you sometimes lose both outlets. My fix was to plug in a six outlet adapter and plug in the other chargers and adapter into that for a charging station. All our breakers are 20A, with GFA's where there's water nearby.
