Google Pixel 8 Pro Charging Guide
The Google Pixel 8 Pro fast-charges at up to 30W using PD PPS.
Supported charging protocols
| Protocol | Max wattage |
|---|---|
| PD PPS | 30W |
| USB PD | 23W |
Cable requirements
Any standard USB-C cable rated 3A or higher works fine — no special "e-marked" cable needed at 30W.
Good to know
Needs a PPS charger (like Google's own 30W) to hit full speed; plain PD chargers still work, just slower.
