Anker presents the x-ray of how we charge in Spain (and how to do it well). Anker answers us: How do we charge our mobile in Spain? and how to do it well?
6 in 10 unplug the charger if it gets hot and around 20% admit they cannot accurately determine if it is dangerous
To charge a high-end laptop plus mobile phone and tablet, about 45% are correct in pointing out that 100W or more is needed and that is the recommended power
Nearly 50% say they always return borrowed chargers while 40% confess that they have argued with their partner or family for “stealing” the charger at home.
20% of Spaniards have pretended not to have a charger so as not to lend it and nearly 30% have a drawer or box with cables and chargers and do not know what is what
The battery is no longer just a percentage, it is a state of mind, and in Spain, it seems to activate especially when the mobile phone drops below 20%. In a context marked by the entry into force in the EU of the single charger regulation that establishes the USB‑C as common standard, Ankerthe world’s number one brand in mobile charging*presents the results of its survey carried out on 1,000 people in Spainwhich portrays how we charge our devices.
This regulation opens a new reality in which, when the charger stops coming by default, choice matters more than ever and, in a saturated market, it is no longer enough to charge and security, real compatibility and consistent performance matter. The study confirms that, in the midst of a multi-device life where the laptop, mobile phone or tablet has a place, We continue to make charging decisions with a mix of intuition, habit, and plenty of just in case.
Do the Spaniards approve of charging devices?
When it’s time to buy a charger for a new laptop, For 20%, the most important thing is to be able to see on the charger screen that it charges correctly.. When charging the laptop, a very majority percentage, close to 70% of Spaniards surveyed say they are guided by the battery percentage of the operating system to estimate the remaining time. And the correct thing would be that, without additional information, the time cannot be known precisely, because the % does not equate to minutes nor does it confirm the real charging power.
The survey also touches on the widespread myth of whether it is safe to use a charger. 100W with a mobile that only needs 20W. Here the responses show that the debate is, literally, in the air, as the country is divided and 4 out of 10 say yes, but more than 3 out of 10 believe it could harm it. The reality is that if a USB-C charger with smart protocol is used, the device only takes what it needs.
In short, Spain approves in loading, but with room for improvement since we continue to load a lot by eye when the right thing requires data, adequate power and solutions designed for everyday life.
The charger’s rogue also exists
And the charger, of course, marks the coexistence because 40% confess that they have argued with their partner or family for “stealing” the charger at home: around 20% have experienced it once or twice and around 10% several times. In the survey, a revealing category even appears among the Spaniards surveyed because about 5% admit to having a special trick, for example, hiding it. Furthermore, the study shows that About 20% admit that they have pretended not to have a charger so as not to lend it.
Outside the home, half behaves well claims to always return borrowed chargersalthough around 8% admit that they once asked for one and did not return it. And, when it comes to the home, the cable drawer continues to be a classic and close to a 30% He claims to have a box or drawer with cables and chargers and absolutely does not know what each one is for.
Anker continues to reinforce its commitment to innovation with solutions designed for real daily needs, an innovation that has also been validated by the industry through recognitions such as CES/IFA/Red Dot, which reinforce its leadership position.
