> [@Skywatcher](#): > > I recently heard a generally reliable talk radio host complain about how cell phones can use any micro-USB cable but a Prius owner can’t use a charging station meant for, say, a Fusion. Perhaps he was working from outdated information. And his statement was incorrect - cell phones can’t use any micro-USB cable. Apple, in its infinite wisdom, developed its own interface. ---

The LAPD may not go that way, but if they subcontracted to one of the charging vendors, it would probably have both plugs available. Thanks, that’s good to know. Still, “both” means CHAdeMO and SAE Combo, right? No Tesla Supercharger? ---
