Can the USB C port on the drone be used to charge?

Or is it only for file transfer and firmware updates, like the MA-1?

I'd also like to know. It was a huge pain on the Air 1.

I asked this question to one of the YouTube creators who got the drone early. He replied this evening; "No it’s to transfer only you cannot charge the drone from the USBC port" Darn, ☹that would have been nice!

It doesn’t surprise me as the added hardware and heat would not be worth it. While you can push a considerable amount of juice down USB-C you need to be able to accept it on the other end.
