USB C port charging speed

MetaX · 05-13-2022, 11:04 AM

FYI in case anyone was curious about the power output of the USB C ports (2022 LCI) I plugged in my USB C power meter (this one) and connected it up to my 13" Intel Macbook Pro as the charging target thinking that it would draw the max amount of power the port can deliver.

Here were my readings with my Macbook "charging":
5.13V
3.03A
15.54w

Same readings for the USB C port in the arm rest and in the rear ports. At 15w it technically is a fast charger vs. the standard 5w we're used to seeing bundled with iPhones but I don't know if it is PD (Power Delivery).

The same power meter hooked up to my 65w brick connected to mains showed around 50w (@20v, 2.28A) but I'm seeing the number bounce around a bit.

Good to hear it's a decent port for charging.

Wish it did wired Carplay through this port

You should see the USB C's on the back of the front seats in the iX. 45 watts total, shared between both of the ports.
