Power in Chad

Chad uses Type C, Type D, Type E and Type F power plugs. The standard voltage is 220 V and the supply frequency is 50 Hz. The power infrastructure in Chad is still developing, with diesel generators and solar energy being the major sources of electricity generation. While urban areas like N'Djamena experience relatively stable power, rural regions often face significant challenges with power reliability. The country is working to improve its grid, with a focus on expanding renewable energy sources. Overall, the power reliability in Chad is considered fair, but improvements are needed to ensure consistent access across the nation.

EPICKA 75 W GaN universal travel adapter

One block that covers US, UK, EU and Australian sockets, with 75 W of USB-C charging — enough for a laptop without carrying its power brick.

  • Plugs for US / UK / EU / AU sockets
  • 3× USB-C (75 W total) + 2× USB-A
  • Universal AC socket, fused, up to 2000 W
  • About 250 g

It does not convert voltage. A 120 V appliance still gets 230 V in Europe, whatever adapter you use.

Best for: Phones, laptops, cameras, tablets and anything dual-voltage.
