USB-C Standard V2.1 To Handle 240 Watts

[engine]

The USB-C standard V2.1 will handle power up from 100 Watts to 240 Watt option designated Extended Power Range (EPR), according to the USB Implementers Forum.

"One hundred watts has served a lot of purposes, but there are markets that could benefit from more power -- things like gaming notebooks or maybe a docking station that can distribute more power to the things connected to it," said USB-IF Chairman Brad Saunders.

Watts = Volts * Amps

i'm trying to imagine 48 amps going through those connectors and heating up those wires...
