minus-squareDarkassassin07@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39arrow-down2·16 hours agoIt’s not so much the connector; but the power delivery standard. Type A maxes out at 5v 3a = 15w and is often limited closer to 5v 1a = 5w for public-use charging ports. Type C and its power delivery standards can get as high as 50v 5a = 250w (though usually closer to 20v 5a = 100w) Then again… The negotiation for what voltage/amperage to supply happens over the data lines which you don’t want connected on a public charging port… I dont really see a good solution here.
