Turns out we cannot answer that question directly, but you can find out for yourself by visiting MFi Licensee App and turning to page 6 of 11. I have found great success in using a Thunderbolt (now UBS-C) docking port, hidden away under my desk. I realize it’s not strictly necessary, but I’m concerned about cheap junk and I know Apple generally makes good equipment, even if it costs a bit more. This 2-metre charge cable features a magnetic MagSafe 3 connector that helps guide the plug to the charging port of your Mac notebook.
Some of them are surprisingly inexpensive, but I also see user comments about devices getting really hot and failing. They stand behind their product, their current cable, the Infinity series, comes with a 15 year warranty.

MagSafe: What voltages do you support and what's the most current / amps I can draw at those voltages? However, you can easily plug an inexpensive USB to USB-C cable into a standard USB port on the back of your Thunderbolt Display and charge your USB-C MacBook from there. Granted, they are not cheap, but in the long run, are less expensive than constantly having to replace cables or accidentally breaking your device due to tripping over a cable. It is not clear if the connector from Snapnator will be able to accept an actual MagSafe cable, but even if it does not it might still be an interesting option. All that said, after a few weeks of usage, Tonya and I are happy with the magnetic charging nubbins on both of our laptops.

While I love that they connect with any orientation (convenient depending on the direction of your power cable), mine only have an LED charging indicator on one side, so sometimes it ends up upside-down and you can’t see it. A little blue LED illuminated to show the connection had been made correctly, and the MacBook Air made its happy little bong noise to indicate it was slurping down power. Either the magnets aren’t quite as strong, or the “outie” design of the magnetic nubbin means that it’s more readily subjected to shearing forces that break the connection. When the next generation of processors ship and Apple delivers even more performance while maintaining the same power efficiency I won’t be able to pull my wallet out fast enough.Once I find compatible charging units at destination, I no longer carry around the original heavier 80W; that stays at home. This USB-C converter connector allows you to reuse old Magsafe 1 and Magsafe 2 chargers for new USB-C devices, including laptops or smartphones with USB C ports.

In those cases I tend to listen for the Mac’s “connected” charging ping, but sometimes that’s hard to hear, and the lightning bolt on the menubar icon can be too small to see. Andy Ihnatko also once complained to me that MagSafe connectors tended to get disconnected when working on soft surfaces like messy hotel beds. I've bought 2 different 3rd party ones so far and the USB-C plugs don't fit into the laptop's ports as well as the Apple adapters do.at however much current is needed to meet the brick’s power rating (up to 85W, depending on the model). Testing the system while you are awake for at least 20min will improve the chances of successful overnight charging. Apple went back and forth on that, with both a T-shaped design that had the cable perpendicular to the edge of the laptop and an L-shaped design that routed the cable parallel to the edge of the laptop.

On a slightly different topic, does anyone have experience of adaptors which provide a magnetic charger for USB-C?
