minus-squarexeplinkfedilink17•2 months agoYup. Japan also has grounded outlets, though, although they are comparatively rarer.
minus-square鴉河雛@PieFedlinkfedilinkEnglish11•edit-22 months agoI recently had a house built, and most of the outlets do support grounding. However, it’s not very common to actually use them — many appliances don’t have grounded plugs, or the shapes don’t match. I’d say only things like washing machines, microwaves, and rice cookers tend to use them.
