Comment on From 2028: EU expands USB-C mandate to chargers

@Powderhorn Making all cables 240W isn't going to be possible. They need both thicker conductors for higher amperage (3A vs 5A), and thicker insulation for higher voltage (20V vs 48V). Those can get quite unwieldy compared to standard cables.
I have a power bank that's rated for 120W, but the built-in retractable cable is only 60W. The mechanism for anything else would be either comically large or have a uselessly short cable.

This is a 500W charger with one port that can do 240W.
