My brand new MacBook Air M2, 2022 came with a 30W USB C power adapter. Does this mean I can't fast charge it at all unless I upgrade the adapter?

  • 140W USB-C Power Adapter + USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable or USB-C charge cable
  • 96W USB-C Power Adapter + USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable or USB-C charge cable
