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:
