Why

Use a plug adapter only after confirming that your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency. Match your real plug and preserve any required grounding. An adapter does not change voltage. E-readers charge over USB from a dual-voltage adapter (100–240V). A plug adapter is all you need anywhere in the world.

Sweden runs 230⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Sweden runs 230V at 50Hz with Type C/F sockets, the Continental European standard.
