Good on you for at least using an European company. Finding the manufacturer making everything from start to finish in Europe can be exhausting. I was interested and I've found https://en.recable.eu/products/usb-a-usb-c-30-watt-charger - still made in China but the company is German. This is also the first foldable EU plug charger I've seen. The cables they make are handmade thus expensive, but I like the message: moving the production burden from overseas to back home.

For others, there is also the probaby-made-in-china-but-at-least-by-a-eu-bcorp Fairphone Dual-port 30W charger or the Pinepower - sadly with NA adapter

Thanks good tip, based in Sweden I see. And from their about page: "We do not believe in generic products manufactured under marginalized conditions." Cool.

In the video you can see the plug body is not flush with the rest of the charger when it's folded, but still pretty interesting. I'm on the fence whether I should get it - it's pretty big - the chinesium Baseus charger I have is smaller still I think

Yeah flat is also not necessarily the most portable, if I carry a charger it's not always the only tech so wide and long can also be annoying. I'm fine with what I have so I'll stick to it as longs as it works. But if it breaks I might consider both.
