It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Excellent article.
Brussels needs to step in.
That is a crazy fact. As the article highlights USB-C can do 240W!
Even though I think it would be better, unless they are forced by laws it's simply cheaper and simpler to have a standard DC barrel and PSU than support USB C and risk having unhappy customers because they're not using a proper 240w cable or charger.
I think everything should just go to 3 pin XLR. Durable, future proof, only plugs in one way, repairable. It also doesn't seem to get clapped out from use.
Why is it a benefit that it only plugs in one way??
It's keyed, so you can feel it even when not looking at it. But it's also large enough that you can find the plug easily (eg, in a dark garage)
My Levo has the Rosenberg magnet. I like it a lot. Never have issues.
Ueah .. Why is it such a cluster fuck..looking at my Giant.
No one takes ebikes seriously i guess. Then we have e-motorbikes and escooters all as fucked up.
Escooters and ebikes can surley standardise
USB as a backup but maybe not as "the standard" ? Being anbe to deliver 750-1000w is a convienent thing
