      I’m glad.

      Maybe it’s unreasonable but I still hope that maybe countries will decide to switch to this connector.

      The large amount of different, outdated standards definitly are a safety risk and hassle, even within the EU (e.g. a Schuko Typ F plug can be plugged in in Denmark but then it has no ground connection. Which is a common thing people there do).

      So it would be pretty great to have this be the new common connector in all 220V-240V 50 hz countries.

        Once I have my own house in South Africa, I’m switching all the plugs over.

        Let’s hope the movement catches on, I hope Brazil switches to the 16A specific standard.
