    Guys, it’s 2026, 30W is not enough for most people. Idk about the US, but in Europe these days most phones do 65-100-120w charging speeds. Now my question is, given that not all of these phones rely on the 5A PPS standard (thinking about OnePlus’ Supervooc which does 85W on a 11V 7.3A) if there were any news on a PPS 2.0 or something that would upper the 5A limit to maybe 10A? I know that would be a crazy temperature constraint, but are there any news or do you guys have ideas on that?

    The Chinese product on Amazon will lie to you about its max wattage

    Usa market is almost all 20 watt blocks ever where. Anything above that drops off in selection. In store and half of online sales.
