This feels like an advertisement article…single port USB-C PD chargers with 20-30W output in the <$10 range are not at all hard to find already.
ikea needs to stop selling electronics to focus on their core business of shark pillow
harder than you would expect. partially due to inflation
It took me one google search, and a filter at the first vendor that popped up to find one.

This dual-port charger can only output 45W of power when using one port at a time, with the output halved at 22W to each device when plugging in two simultaneously.
Yes. That’s literally how max power ratings on devices like this work. And, to be that guy, even when plugging in two devices and getting 22.5W on each socket, the charger is still outputting 45W.
This feels like a paid advert written by Ikea’s press department - not The Verge itself.
Not to be nitpicky but 45kW? That seems like a hell of a charger and I’d like to see the ISB-C cable that can handle that ;)
Thunderbolt v3 handles up to 100W. I have a 90W USB-C port on one of my monitors for just that purpose.Edit: lol. I see my mistake. Edited. I deal in kW and MW for my job. I’ll call it muscle memory.
And, to be that guy,
outputting
You can be that guy a little harder. It’s okay.

It doesn’t need to be paid. Many journalists are happy to receive a pre-written article that they can just push out with zero effort.
The secret to itIKEA is my favorite electronics store.
Their rechargable batteries are so incredible deal.

You’re kidding right? IKEA is recognized to make top notch USB chargers, someone on the net buy all kind of USB chargers, disassemble them, reverse their schematic, and test them. And the IKEA ones are super safe especially because they respect all american, european, and basically every countries laws/certifications.

Ikea makes very good products for the price point - better than pretty much anyone else.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ikea is now selling a pair of its own USB-C chargers that start at just $7.99.
Ikea’s chargers are compatible with Power Delivery (PD 3.0), Quick Charge (QC4+), and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) specs.
Both chargers come with a sheet of colored stickers that lets you “personalize” them — useful in households where kids or flatmates can easily mix them up.
At the time of writing Anker’s most affordable single-port USB-C charger has an MSRP of $13.99 and offers 20W of power, while getting 30W of power typically costs $19.99 (though both are currently discounted).
Although you should always check the small print for the charging standards (and voltage / current) your device needs to charge at its fastest, 30W should be enough to fast-charge some Samsung devices and iPhones, and even matches the wattage of the base charger Apple supplies with its M2-powered MacBook Air.
45W should be able to handle some faster-charging devices too — though, again, be sure to check the fine print.
The original article contains 241 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 31%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I’ve never seen one with that much power for phones… at 5v that would be 6A for the 30watts one… must be designed for laptops
My cheap(ish) phone has ~30W charger too. It’s something like 2,5A/12V or 1,5A/18V, which is pretty common these days. I believe I’ve seen phones with up to 100W charging capability (not sure about longevity though).
