I've been saying this for years: ebikes should have USB-C PD ports for charging!
Finally a manufacturer has actually done it. In this case using 140W power delivery, which is way higher power than any ebike charger I've ever used. And USB-C PD now supports up to 240W, which is more than enough for ebikes.
I hope this becomes the norm:

@notjustbikes Now i hope one of those wacky inventor Youtubers makes an Adapter to charge an electric car with like 10-15 240W USB-C PD ports.
[No idea how feasible and how car charging actually works, i don't have a license, i just divided 230V×16A by 240W :D since i think they can charge on normal sockets?]
@notjustbikes Thanks to a mansplainer in my comments who wrongly told me it's impossible to convert DC power to AC i was forced to now read more into the feasibility of such a silly idea.
To anyone reading this, who mistakenly believes i am asking an explanation of basic electronics, please do not engage. Why is social media like this?
[But if anyone with some more in-depth knowledge does the numbers and tells me what it would take and how far off my guesstimate was, i'd be curious to hear it]
@roastveg @notjustbikes Thanks, captain obvious mansplainer, for explaining to me that it would have to be converted, under a post of me complaining about mansplaining. Really? Wouldn't have guessed.
I literally said: "To anyone reading this, who mistakenly believes i am asking an explanation of basic electronics, please DO NOT ENGAGE"
