Why does NO-ONE sell genuine LG G3 mains chargers?

[leegreg81]

I don't really want to buy a third party one but my searches indicate the only type of official LG charger I can buy is QI and that's £60.

I even checked on the LG UK accessories page and there's nothing there either.

What gives?

(P.S - I'm well aware of the difference between QI and mains charging)

1) Qi is a wireless charger. And Qi is Qi - it's a standard. You can pay £60 for one that says LG on it or £5 for one that doesn't - and you're getting the same thing. (Except that some of the cheaper ones don't have an indicator to tell you when you've placed the phone in the right position to charge. But some of the cheapest ones do.)

2) If you want a plugin charger, that's not a Qi charger, that's called a portable or travel charger - look for that. (Actually, any portable charger that can supply 2 Amps should work - even one for £5 or less.)

I have a qi wireless charger and a lg wireless charger. Both work fine on my nexus 5 but only one works with my g3. You can guess which one!

Makes no odds to the above either if I change around the USB chargers.
