MagCharge: Smartphone Charging re-imagined!

19-08-2026

Smartphones have become central to daily life with charging convenience a key issue. Whilst the industry has adapted to new standards, cables, adaptors and cluttered charging points remain a frustration across homes, hotels and other public places.

Now, the CED Group has taken a massive step forward with the launch of MagCharge – the world’s first electrical outlet with integrated induction charging. It brings Qi2-compatible wireless magnetic charging directly into a standard wall socket. Installed into standard 25mm back boxes, the unit allows users to place a compatible smartphone against the magnetic charging surface and charge instantly – no cables, adaptors or loose accessories.

For iPhone users, there’s an added advantage – when placed sideways on the magnetic surface, the phone automatically activates Apple’s Standby mode, transforming the device into a bedside display for clocks,widgets, photos and alerts.

Major benefits of MagCharge accrue in hospitality settings, allowing guests to charge without searching for cables or adaptors, whilst medical and care environments can offer wall mounted one handed charging for people with limited mobility.

On a general beneficial note, over 11,000 tonnes of discarded chargers and cables are generated annually just in the EU – clearly MagCharge and the general shift towards universal cable-free charging offers a long-term reduction on a worldwide basis. 0208 503 8500 / www.cedgroup.co.uk
