@EU_Commission I've actually been wondering about this: does this mean USB-C Power Delivery has to be supported or has to be the only option?
My laptop broke down and being over 5 years old I decided to get a new one which turned out to have a proprietary charging port but also USB-C Power Delivery. Would this be allowed under the new rules? Are there technical reasons why this would even ever be necessary (like, are there technical limits on how much power USB-C PD can provide)?
@SylvieLorxu at present, the limit of usb pd is 240W. There will be physical limitations also. Higher voltages need better insulation and higher currents need thicker conductors.
