Ugreen Introduces World's First 5-Port 300W GaNFast Desktop Charger
Ugreen, a global leader in charging accessories, has partnered with Navitas Semiconductor, the industry leader in gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits (ICs), to announce the release of the world's first 5-port 300 W GaN desktop charger—the Ugreen Nexode 300 W Desktop Charger.
"Navitas has been working closely with UGREEN for a long time, it is our relentless pursuit of innovation that continues to refresh the milestone of fast charging," said Charles Zha, Vice President and General Manager of Navitas China. "This first 300 W GaN desktop charger based on LLC structure can realize such astonishing power density with such small size, which once again propelled the revolution of GaN fast charging."
Evan Li, Vice President of Ugreen said, "We are thrilled to introduce the world's first 5-port 300 W GaN desktop charger. This high-powered charger incorporates Navitas's GaNFast chip and Ugreen's product design innovation, representing a significant breakthrough in fast charging technology. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Navitas and continuing to provide consumers with safer and more efficient charging experiences."
A new addition to the Ugreen Nexode series, the Ugreen Nexode 300 W Desktop Charger is a high-power device that can fast charge five devices simultaneously, with four USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The single port output can deliver up to a maximum of 140 W, powerful enough to charge a 16" MacBook Pro from 0 to 56% in just 30 minutes. This makes it the perfect solution for rapidly charging laptops, tablets, phones, and more.
The charger supports PD 3.1 and QC3.0, along with other fast charging protocols including PD/QC/SCP/FCA/AFC, ensuring hyper-fast charging. Safety is a top priority with the charger. It features a built-in smart Thermal Guard system that monitors temperature changes in real-time, taking 6000 temperature readings each minute to protect connected devices from overheating, overcharging, and excessive current.
Encased in a robust, fire-resistant, and flame-retardant PVC shell, the Ugreen Nexode 300 W Desktop Charger offers enhanced protection against fire hazards, as well as resistance to bumps and drops. This charger is not just a potent charging solution, but also an environmentally friendly choice. It can significantly reduce carbon emissions by up to 30 percent, potentially eliminating an estimated 2.0 Gtons of CO2 by 2050, according to data from Navitas.
Pricing and Availability
Ugreen Nexode 300 W desktop charger is available for purchase starting today, September 5th, for $269 in the U.S. on Amazon.com, and Ugreen.com. The recommended retail price for Amazon UK is £269.99, and €269.99 on Amazon EU.

I'm still waiting on a 8-10 port charger with 45 per port, for mass charging chromebooks.
haven't used an AC adapter since 2009
5v500ma charging speeds are so slowooooooow.
If you purchase in western countries you are probably paying all the markup price for the "warranty & support".
It's 100% irrelevant to people not living in xina what something costs there.
Also, things sold in xina, usually uses xinese parts, whereas this is at least based on a Navitas GaN solution, which is one of the better GaN charger chip makers.900 mA for USB 3.0, 500 mA for USB 2.0, as per the spec.
I know my ASRock Z590 Steel Legend has a regular USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port that has fast charge (USB Ultra Power they call it), not sure about the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port and Mobo Header, it's not mentioned. I personally use Samsung 35W Duo chargers to charge my devices.
