INIU 10,000mAh Power Bank Drops to Basically Nothing, Amazon's Best-Selling Charger Is Flying Off Shelves
If you check your phone battery, how likely is it that it's fully charged? We'd wager that it's close to impossible for it to be at full power right now, and that it's also something you're planning on sorting out as soon as you get near a charger. You don't have to wait until you're near a charger though, you could sort it out right now as long as you have access to a good power bank. If you've yet to pick up a power bank, then today could well be the perfect chance to do so. You can currently get yourself a new INIU 10,000 mAh power bank for just $19. That's a 38% discount on the standard price of $30, and a bargain for what you're getting. The deal isn't going to last for very long though, so if you do decide you want this, you'll need to get it quickly. See at Amazon A power bank can help out constantly, because you can keep it in a backpack or purse and just bring it out when needed to top your phone battery up, or even a tablet if you're in a pinch. It means that you're not as tied to your standard charging options as you would be otherwise, and it also means that any unexpected delays or distractions don't have to spell the end of you battery life. That's a fair amount of peace of mind, and frankly, only spending $19 on that is probably worth it. This particular power bank has an absurdly high capacity at 10,000mAh, which basically means that it's got enough power to comfortably charge your phone a couple of times at also got a 45W output to allow it to do so quickly, which is great if you're in need of a sudden top-up, but can't keep it attached to your phone for long, for some reason. It works with all sorts of modern phones as well, including the latest Apple and Samsung devices. It even has three output ports, which means that you can charge three devices at once if you ever need to do so. It's just incredibly handy, and is a must-have if you're planning on taking a long day trip or something similar. It's easy to see that getting this for $30 is already very reasonable, so we'd definitely recommend you act quickly if you want to avoid missing out on this chance to get it for $19 while this discount lasts.

OnePlus' 2-in-1 USB cable charges your phone and smartwatch at the same time
OnePlus announced a new USB-C charging cable that does more than just pass power and data from one device to another. The OnePlus 2-in-1 Supervooc Cable features an inline pogo pin connector that can be used to charge the company's OnePlus Watch 3, Watch 2, and Watch 2R smartwatches while also charging a connected smartphone. It's a more convenient solution for travelers and can help reduce desk clutter by eliminating at least one redundant charging cable. It's available now through OnePlus' online store for $29.99 and comes in a single length that's just over 47 inches long. It's the same price as the OnePlus Watch Charging Base that doesn't actually come with a USB-C cable, potentially making the new 2-in-1 solution an even better deal. The 2-in-1 Supervooc Cable can deliver up to 80W of power when connected to a single device like a laptop or smartphone. With a smartwatch attached power delivery is split between the two with up to 10W going to the wearable and up to 67W going to what's ever connected over USB-C. The charging cable's functionality is similar to the Universal Cable for Apple Watch that Nomad released earlier this year. That cable features an inline magnetic Apple Watch charger on one end and a much steeper $100 price tag. But instead of accusing OnePlus of stealing Nomad's idea, we should be encouraging other cable makers to follow suit. Assuming it's technically feasible, a multifunction USB-C charging cable with an inline wireless charging puck would be incredibly useful.

Oxfordshire on-street electric vehicle charging scheme launched
A scheme that will allow residents without off-street parking to charge their electric vehicles outside their own home has been Oxfordshire County Council project will see charging cable channels installed outside the homes of 500 people who do not have their own is believed to be the largest scheme of its kind in the UK, and is being partially funded by a £700,000 grant from central Hargreaves, who took part in a similar but smaller trial in 2022, said his charging channel "works so brilliantly" that he "can't find a single fault". "The charging channel allows us to minimise the use of commercial chargers, whose rates are still a little too high at present," Mr Hargreaves, from Summertown, added that being able to charge at home was "safe and convenient". The council said the charging channels were an "affordable and practical solution" for people without off street parking who wanted to switch their petrol or diesel car to an electric Judy Roberts, the authority's environment chief, said: "A third of Oxfordshire householders don't have off street parking, so we believe this could be a real game-changer and give residents the confidence to switch to an electric vehicle (EV).""Being able to access home electricity rates and park in your usual spot are the sorts of things that are likely to make EV ownership a reality for many local people," she part of the scheme, residents would pay the council £300 to cover the cost of a site survey, the installation of a channel and a two-year licence to use the second year, those taking part would have to pay about £100 each year, which the council said would cover operating project is part of a wider council scheme that will see at least 1,200 public EV chargers installed across the county by the end of 2027.

English councils urged to install pavement gullies for home charging of electric cars
Local councils in England will be encouraged to install pavement gullies that link houses to the kerbside so that electric cars owners can charge their cars from home if they do not have a driveway. The new government scheme hopes to stop cables trailing across pavements, as EV owners in built up areas where off-street parking is scarce, try to charge their cars. The Department for Transport has said it will put £25m towards 'cross-pavement' charging – essentially a narrow cable channel with a cover on top. The government will also allow signs to advertise public chargers on motorways and A-roads, and fund 1,200 charge points for the NHS, including ambulances, as part of a package of measures to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles. Providing access to chargers is a key factor in encouraging drivers to switch to electric cars, which are far cleaner than petrol and diesel engines. However, charging can be tricky for 9.3m households without an off-street parking space, making them reliant on public chargers. The government levies VAT on the electricity from public chargers, making it much more attractive to charge using VAT-free home electricity. That has led to many drivers trailing cables from their homes over the pavement to their cars. The fund for charger gullies, at only £25m, does not represent a large investment for the government. However, if more councils rolled out gullies it could provide tens of thousands of drivers with the ability to charge at home. Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, said: 'We know access to charging is a barrier for people thinking of making the switch, and we are tackling that head-on so that everyone – whether or not they have a driveway – can access the benefits of going electric.' Many councils have already rolled out cross-pavement charging. For instance, covered gully manufacturer Kerbo Charge counts 30 councils where its products can be installed, from Stirling in Scotland to Cornwall. However, other local authorities have been more cautious because of concerns over trip hazards on pavements and ongoing maintenance costs – as well as arguments over who has the right to park outside each house. Charger gullies tend to cost a few hundred pounds, with the total cost coming to about £1,000 when including labour. Other sellers include Pavecross and Gul-e. Michael Goulden, the co-founder of Kerbo Charge, said it was 'excellent news that the government recognises the importance of cross-pavement charging to encourage the adoption of charging for people without driveways'. Having to rely on public charging is a 'clear barrier to adoption of EVs' by people in urban areas, with energy from some rapid chargers costing more per mile than petrol, Goulden said. The change to signage rules has also been welcomed by charging companies, who are keen to increase usage of chargers for topping-up on longer journeys along motorways and A-roads. Delvin Lane, the chief executive of InstaVolt, a provider of rapid chargers, said it was a 'crucial step' to 'improve consumer confidence and bolster EV adoption'. He said: 'The UK's public EV infrastructure, so critical to mass adoption, is already largely in place, and now this signage will finally showcase it to drivers in a visible, accessible way.'
