Power is what the wall supplies, not what a device needs: most phone and laptop chargers take 100 to 240 V, so you usually need only a plug adapter. Check the label on your device.
Plugs, power and driving side are shown only where two sources agree (Wikipedia, Mains electricity by country (from the IEC's World Plugs), worldstandards.eu, Wikidata, Wikipedia, Left- and right-hand traffic), checked 2026-10-11. See .
