Are US and UK plugs different?
Are US and UK plugs different? A US plug socket is a completely different shape to both a UK plug socket and a European plug socket. This means that your European plugs simply won't fit. In addition to this, US plugs, sockets and devices are designed to use completely different voltage levels.
Which countries use the same plug as us?
They are widely used in North America, Mexico, China, Japan, and other countries which use Type A plugs. Like Type A, Type B plugs used in Japan vary in design slightly than those used in the United States.
Is a US plug the same as EU?
European plugs are not compatible with American electrical sockets. In order to plug in your electric appliances, you will need a plug adapter or a converter. Otherwise, you will not be able to use your electric appliances during your U.S. road trip (phone charger, camera charger, laptop or tablet, etc.).
