      It’s not so much the connector; but the power delivery standard.

      Type A maxes out at 5v 3a = 15w and is often limited closer to 5v 1a = 5w for public-use charging ports.

      Type C and its power delivery standards can get as high as 50v 5a = 250w (though usually closer to 20v 5a = 100w)

      Then again… The negotiation for what voltage/amperage to supply happens over the data lines which you don’t want connected on a public charging port…

      I dont really see a good solution here.

          Yes, obviously that’s always been an option.

          I dont see a good solution for the topic we were actually talking about: creating high-power public use charging ports.
