65W confirmed, with good efficiency
On a single port, the Nexode 65W genuinely delivers its advertised power: around 62W actually reaches a laptop while charging, for a conversion efficiency of 91.6%, a good level for a GaN charger of this power. The split between two USB-C ports reaches 45W on the first and 20W on the second when used together.
The real weak point: micro-cutouts with three devices
When three devices are plugged in at once, brief but real charging micro-cutouts show up repeatedly: charging seems to cut out and resume several times in a row in this specific configuration. This three-port configuration is also where power drops the lowest: around 8.5W on two of the three ports, a figure the product's usual marketing does not highlight. A separate, less firmly established signal also points to a sometimes hesitant power renegotiation when the Nexode 65W is used alongside another charger on the same device.
Interchangeable travel plugs: the differentiating argument
The included interchangeable US, UK and EU plugs remain this charger's real advantage over the competition, since most equivalent GaN chargers do not offer them. One report, however, mentions a cracked US plug after a somewhat abrupt removal while travelling, an isolated but plausible mechanical fragility point on this type of removable mechanism, worth knowing for anyone who handles the charger frequently.
Watch out for the Nexode range: several similar variants
The name Nexode 65W covers several distinct Ugreen products: this base version with interchangeable plugs, the Nexode Pro 65W Slim (a thinner format), the Nexode Air 65W, the Nexode RG (different design, LED screen) and a version with a retractable built-in cable. Power and port-sharing specifications differ from one variant to another: make sure to check the exact reference before buying, particularly whether it includes the travel plugs, which are not present on every version.
Price and availability
The observed price varies noticeably depending on the period and promotions, generally between £26 and £43. No product recall was found for this model in the European and American safety databases consulted.
