UGREEN Nexode 45W Charger 2022 REVIEW — MacSources
Charger provides massive power in a miniature size.
According to parksassociates.com (4/27/22), US households have increased from 13 internet-connected devices in 2021 to an average of 16 devices in 2022. Unfortunately, as many devices moved to USB charging, the traditional silicone-based charging bricks had to increase in size to deal with the heat and power needs.
Thankfully, companies like UGREEN adopted a newer Gallium Nitride technology for their semiconductors. The newer tech allowed for smaller chargers, higher efficiency, and less heat production. On an even larger scale, the UGREEN website reported savings of 5503 tons of carbon dioxide per year by switching from the older silicone tech to the newer GaN chips.
This figure represented a similar amount of CO2 that 74,500 acres of trees would remove from the atmosphere in a single year or the equivalent of planting 220,755 trees. When you combine the macro-scale benefits with the promise of a smaller, higher-efficiency charger, GaN tech takes the gold.
