I know there are issues with it, but I love USB-C. We are building a weekender campervan with my wife (don't judge) and we decided that there is no point spending money (and space) on an inverter anymore. Most things we have (laptops/phones/cameras) either already charges from USB-C (or compatible with an adapter), or a 12V charger exists. In fact we won't even hard-wire USB-C wall ports, because cigarette lighter USB adapters are constantly improving (current best ones are around 60W on a single port). We are saving a ton of money and modern DC-DC chargers are probably way more efficient and less bulky than and 12VDC->110AC->9-12VDC conversion could ever be. I wouldn't be surprised if this trend continued and we started seeing little off-grid cabins go entirely DC. It just makes sense.
