Wall chargers are ubiquitous in modern life across both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, they're commonly called 'carregadores de parede' or sometimes simply 'carregadores.' With the proliferation of USB-C and fast-charging technology, Brazilians often discuss the quality and compatibility of wall chargers, especially regarding international travel between countries with different voltage standards (110V vs 220V in Brazil). It's culturally normal to share or borrow wall chargers among friends and family.
