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:
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
πŸ§€ The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins πŸ’Ά 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 β€œonly in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

It's done by increasing the voltage to up to 48 V when the device requests it and both the charger and the cable support it. At 48 V that's "only" 5 A, which isn't nothing but nothing to worry about, and your phone will never request it and your normal phone charger won't be able to output this much power anyway.

Is there any indication how much power a USB cable allows if I see them on a shelf? They all say "USB c" and "fast charging", but hardly get into specifics. And a higher price doesn't necessarily mean the cable has higher or better specs.

The cable I recently bought at Microcenter mentioned support for 24 and 48v charging.
