Tex-ArozziI searched pd and none of the comments belong to you. I think the search function might only search top level comments so it might be good to repost it as a top level comment.

Tex-ArozziThanks for the link. You don't mention though whether it's charging using the PD profile or not. A lot of devices will pull more amperage when available, but the Pixel 2 does not. It will only quick charge if the charger uses the PD spec to let the phone know that it can pull 1A at 5v. For example, I have a 5v 3.1A wall wart that can supply 15W, but the Pixel 2 I measured to only pull 1.39A (and that's only when winning the amperage lottery, if I reply the device it usually settles on 1A-1.2A). Unless this product uses PD to supply 5v@3A, it won't quick change the Pixel 2.

Tex-ArozziYour link doesn't answer the question. You've answered whether the usb-c is an output, not whether it specifically supports the USB-PD specification. From my research, it appears it does not, which is a shame. It means for example that it will charge the Switch at 15W instead of 30W, making it charge much slower.

SodaAntAgree, this question has not been answered. USB-PD is a requirement to charge the Switch at the full rate, and is also a requirement to charge small laptops, etc. I'm assuming at this point that the answer is no -- every adapter that supports this spec advertises it as a top-line feature.

Stephen304You could use a custom kernel that supports quickcharge.

Looking at the specs, the type-c port seems like it can only output 5v3A, which even if it supported PD, that would be the 15W PD profile, lower than the 18W 9v2A profile that the factory charger supplies.
The Type-A ports, if they supported PD somehow (not sure if that's a thing), might in theory supply 18W through their 9v2A setting, but I've never seen a Qualcomm Quickcharge adapter that also supported Type-C PD, so my guess is that the Type-A is Qualcomm Quickcharge only, and either Qualcomm Quickcharge or potentially PD up to 15W on the Type-C port, which is a no-go for me.
