USB-C, USB PD, and Power Delivery
The USB PD specification is also closely intertwined with USB Type-C. Currently, a USB 2.0 connection provides up to 2.5 watts of power—enough to charge your phone or tablet, but that’s about it. The USB PD specification supported by USB-C ups this power delivery to 100 watts. It’s bi-directional, so a device can either send or receive power. And this power can be transferred at the same time the device is transmitting data across the connection. This kind of power delivery could even let you charge a laptop, which usually requires up to about 60 watts.

I'm wondering why with just using the USB Type C cable it is suddenly charging faster. From what I remember, the USB port in the car is a 2.0 port, so it should not see any boost in power for a type C cable. I'm downloading an app now to measure what the phone is getting. Will try my old S6 cable (with type C adapter) vs the one that came with the S8.
