YUROP
Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

It would be possible to put in a voltage converter that would boost the 20 volts that's relatively common for USB-C/PD devices to whatever voltage the battery pack needs to charge while increasing the losses on the charge.
A 200 watt charger for a 48 volt 20 amp battery would be okay, but it would take like five to eight hours to charge depending on what kind of losses are involved.
It's pretty rare to see USB-C charger that can handle 200 watts on a single port. More common is like 120, so it would take closer to 10-12 hours to charge that battery with USB-C versus a barrel plug.
And even if the cable is able to handle the 200 watts or more, it would be on the user to remember that they can't plug in their 15 watt charger and actually charge their ebike battery.
So once you take all of that into consideration, given that you're going to need a separate charger specifically for your e-bike battery, then why would it even matter that it's USB-C?
yup, my thoughts exactly, don't really see a any benefit for using USB-C here. What would be good of course is to have any standard at all for these connectors.
