Re:240W USB-C PD chargers are nearly here, says Framework CEO by ScottKolo on Friday June 09, 2023 @11:14AM (#36259062)
While amperage is indeed a problem, PD 3.1 uses 48 volts to deliver 240W. https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd

That’s only 5 amps, but such a high-ish voltage is enough to lead to arcing. Charging cables are likely to require additional safety measures.

Not even safety requirements, going above 48V will start subjecting to your device to electrical code.
