Currently I am using both N6P and M8.
N6P supports 5V/3A but no QC2, and M8 supports QC2.
I don't want to carry 2 chargers all the time, so I did little bit search and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0122P71FC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
It seems to be a good one, with 5V 3A, 9V 1.67A, 12V 1.2A, so now I guess I can use it with Zaptip.
Anything similar to that?

I have charger along with a USB-A to C cable. My 6P doesn't register as quick charging when using it.

On 5V 3A?
If that's what it's actually outputting then the nexus doesn't see it that way. I suppose it may be my cables. I don't have a USB-C to A adapter to try the C to C cable that came with the phone.
FYI I have this charger and it registers as fast charging with my Nexus 6p:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HPTU00E
Can't say for sure if it charges exactly the same power/speed as the stock charger, but did notice it was definitely charging very fast..
It's the $10.99 20W black version.

Says 5V 2.4A for each port. So I guess it would be slower than the stock one.

Possibly but it did say rapid charging and it did charge plenty fast to me.
Honestly the stock charger doesn't seem very fast to me

When I plugged in my 6P's 5V/3A charger at 19% it said it would take 1 hour to charge. When I tried my iPad brick(5.2V/2.4A) and a USB C to USB A I got from amazon and it said it would take 1 hour to charge from 18%. Both said charging rapidly. It seems as long as the wall adapter puts out 5V and 2A or more it should charge rapidly, regardless of the wall adapter being USB A or C.
This charger situation is a nightmare. But....
I bought one of these awhile ago for $12 on sale, and I didn't expect for it to quick charge the Nexus 6p, but it does seem to register as quick charging.

The charger listed in the first post will register as quick charging when using a USB 3.1 certified A to C cable.
I do not work for CHOETECH, I merely providing informative information because I've tested several usb type-c cables and chargers, and the CHOETECH are still some of my favorites. Also you can check out my video reviews of all for several companies on my youtube channel. 'Techbswift'.. I reviewed a CHOETECH wall charger weeks ago and I still use it everyday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...tech-rapid-charger-actually-nexus-6p-t3263173
So CHOETECH has heard it's customers loud and clear and they continue to ensure all their products meet the standards. They are getting ready to release an updated car charger and a new top of the line 3 in one wall charger. The wall charger will be extremely sweet because it will be the first on the market that provides a 3 in one charger, and it will follow type-c standards. I'm extremely pumped because it will have the ability to charger my 12" Macbook Retina and my phone at the same time. Having only one usb port on the Macbook sucks... The charger will also have auto detect so if you are charging less say your Nexus 6p and a Note 5, it will know the exact settings to charger the Note 5.
The updated car charger will drop sometime around the end of the month ( I hope) and will be an updated version of the charger they released. I still use the old charger but I guess they wanted to ensure their car charger meets 100% of the expectations of usb type-c standards.
I stole some of this information from the web pages on Amazon, and if you haven't grabbed one of the old but amazing wall chargers yet the link is below.

1. 5v/3a type c rapid adapter is the first 3rd 5v/3a USB-C adapter on the market now.
2. With a 5v/3a type c port, the upcoming 39W 3 ports type c wall charger will be perfectly compatible with most type c devices, like 12'' Retina Macbook, Google Pixel C, Nexus 6p/5x, Lumia 950/950 XL etc, the other two auto-detect ports can charge most of android devices and apple devices, which will be a must have at home and on office desk.
3. As for the upcoming 33w Type C car charger, with an Quick Charge 2.0 port and a Type C 5V 3A charging port, this car charger can charge most of devices also.
That's good service right there. I will wait for the new one to be released to pick one up.

For #1, they really need to ditch their wall wart design and move on to power bricks like Anker and Aukey did long, long ago.
#2 looks like the first of it's kind.
#3 is already available and is just OKAY. At $16 and no included USB type-C cable, you're not really saving anything over the Google charger on the Google Store.
Im dissapointed they dont release these in the UK.
We have no type c wall charger apart from Google official.
Hello
Im about to order QC 3.0 charger by AUKEY (I understood that it's really recommended)
and I'd likfe to buy a type - c cable that fits the 3.0 qc and will not harm the phone.
What cable do you recommend?
Thanks!
I bought two of these in the braided cord variation. I'm extremely pleased with the quality.
I'm unable to post a link, but iOrange-E makes a fantastic USB Type-C cable that I've been using since the G5 launch in April. It's found in Amazon for eleven bucks I think.
I got the iSpecle cable and it works perfectly!

As far as I know iOrange-E cables, altough great, are not compatible with LG G5 Quick Charge 3.0. I believe the only cables compatible with Quick Charge 3.0 are those that support 3 amps. The iOrange-E cables supports up to 2.4 amp only.

Not sure if this is true. I was using a 6 ft braided iOrange-E cable since I got the phone up until my dog decided to chew on it, but during that time, QC 3.0 worked flawlessly.

Were you using this cable with the wall charger that came with the G5?
I was using the iOrange-E cable with the wall charger that came with the G5 and it worked perfectly up until a few weeks ago. Less than a two month life span and now the phone constantly complains about slow-charging when using the iOrange-E cable. I switched to the cable-matters cable posted above and have had no issues. I actually already had the cable matters cables for car/travel use and they work perfectly. I do wish they made a 10ft cable, but oh well.
iOrange-E 2.4A cable works because the G5 included wall charger is not Quick Charger 3.0 certified but only Quick Charger 2.0 certified and as such it don't requires 3A cables.
Both specifications - QC2 and QC3 - are reported by G5 as Fast Charging, but make no mistake: the charging rates are not the same. QC 2 charges 0-50% in about 25-30 minutes while QC 3 charges 80% in 35 minutes.
To exploit the above Quick Charger 3.0 rates, you need not only a Quick Charger 3.0 certified charger but also a compatible 3A cable.
Hi I got a 6P a while back I'm useing my Nexus 6 charger/adaptor an I notice that when I plug a white cheap USB to type c cable to my phone it says Rapidly charging..So I ordered 2 Spigen USB 3.0 to type C cables an when I plug them into my Nexus 6 adaptor it says just Charging but seems to charge fast..I also ordered a Cheotech Faster charger that came with a USB to type C cord an when I plug it in it says just Charging if I use that cheap White type C cable with the Cheotech charger it says Rapidly Charging..Very weird..So I'm wondering even tho it says just charging is it still Rapie charging fast.My wife hooks up here S7 edge to the Cheotech an it says Rapidly Charging..

USB-A to USB-C won't fast charge your 6P. You need a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C charger capable of fast charging at 5V/3A.
I suggest you take a look at Benson Leung (engineer at Google) on Google+ or over at Amazon for an approved charger and cable.
I personnally have the Choetech USB-C charger and the USB-C to USB-C cable for travelling and it works perfectly.

It says fast charging if charging over 2A I believe. This is "fast" charging, but USB-A only goes up to 2.4A. Full USB C to USB C will allow 3A of charging speed. You shouldn't have bought that charger or cable.
Get a Type C charger and Type C to C cable. Anker makes good, stylish cables as well.

Mine only says charging at 2.4A. I only achieve fast charging at 3A. It's a 20-30 mins difference to full charge. Not a big deal.
I was a Note 7 refugee so I have the stock Samsung fast AC charger here. Model EP-TA20JWE rated at 9v @ 1.67A and 5v @ 2A. It's in my kitchen.
I have the original AC charger that came with the Pixel XL. Model TC G1000-US rated at 9v @ 2.0A and 5v @ 0.5A I have only used once to get this information.
I also have a mobile charger in my car. It is labeled as Qualcomm QC 3.0 certified which is why I bought it as the Note 7 was a QC 3.0 device. It is a Choetech Model C0051 rated at 9.1v~12v @ 1.5A Max, 5.6v~9v @ 2A Max, and 3.6v~5.5v @ 2.4A Max (the iFixit teardown has revealed a Qualcomm QC 3.0 IC in the Pixel)
Additionally I have a charger by the bed which is from my Nexus 6, Motorola "Turbo Charger" Model SSW-2680US rated at 5v @ 1.6A, 9v @ 1.6A, and 12v @ 1.2A.
All of the chargers are using their original CABLE (USBA to USBC except in the case of the Pixel which is USBC to USBC) included EXCEPT the Motorola Turbo Charger, which is using a 6 foot long braided USBA to Micro USB cable with the Micro USB to USBC adapter that came with the Note 7.
What I found so far was all three work well and all three are recognized by the phone as a rapid charger.
I also found that at 60% charge and plugging in each one long enough for the lock screen to give me the "rapid charging XX minutes until full" message, the Samsung EP-TA20JWE fast charger charges it faster than the Google TC G1000US or the Choetech C0051. The Google and Choetech appear to charge at the same rate based on time until full. The Motorola Turbo Charger charges at an extremely fast rate, like it took it from 58% to 77% in maybe 5-10 minutes and was saying 15 minutes to full at 77%.
My battery life is phenomenal for me at 5-6 hours SOT, I have no issues with any of these chargers, they all see charging time every day. Turbo charger overnight, Samsung Note 7 charger when in the kitchen where I am a lot, mobile charger when driving to work or classes... (except the actual Pixel charger which I haven't found a use for yet but will probably go to work with me.
*Based on my findings I am going to put the Samsung Note 7 charger in the kitchen and the slowest Pixel charger in the bedroom and take the fastest Turbo charger to work.

I know my test method isn't to some people's satisfaction but the time to full calculation is based on how much the phone is charged now (which I kept within +/- 2% for each check) and how much current the device wants to draw from what's available. What's interesting is the device draws power much quicker than the Pixel charger supplies it when it is plugged into more capable chargers.

I have been having varying experiences.
My Anker QC 3.0 type C wall charger seems to charge rapidly, although at the 5V/3A only, with a 6.6ft USB 2.0 i-orange cable. Using a 3.3ft USB 3.0 cable, it shows charging rapidly when I first plug it in, but a few minutes later only shows charging.. but seems to be charging rapidly? My Tronsmart type C w/ QC 3.0 car charger, using an Anker Powerline+ type C cable, shows charging rapidly, but said it had 1+ hour until full when at 70%... Ampere only showed 1.6A being sent to the phone too. I tried an iVoler charger with type C and QC 3.0 and got up to 2050mAh, but it was likely only 5V (which I would expect) but still didn't seem to be charging all that fast.
I think this whole USB-PD thing is going to really be dependent on proper chargers and cables. All of these chargers/cables worked perfect on my Nexus 6P - doesn't seem to be the case on the Pixel.
Thanks for the experience folks. I had purchased a qc 3.0 tronsmart on sale at amazon which I was going to return. I got usb c cables with pd from monoprice. I suppose even if it doesn't fast charge at 18w (9v X 2a), I'd be ok with 15 w charging if I don't have to go out and buy a new car charger.
I mean faster is nice but if it still charges at a good rate, the lower current might help the battery last longer too right?

I have bad news for you. I have a Tronsmart QC 3.0 type C charger too - one from a year ago though, don't know if the design has changed - and it is NOT rapid charging my device. It worked perfect on my Nexus 6P. It will start out by saying "charging rapidly" on the Pixel XL, but after several minutes, goes down to "charging" and the charge time is 2+ hours, Ampere shows really low current, etc. It COULD be the Anker Powerline+ type C cable I am using... but I highly doubt it. I think the fact that the type C port has QC 3.0 is not playing nice with the USB-PD chip, and causing it to drop support for 5V/3A all together. I will test this more tonight with the stock cable and see if it works any better.

Man I totally forgot about my Motorola Turbo chargers I got from Groupon. I wish I could find my @zerolemon charger too.. Ill test them with my USB USB Doctor dongles.. When I find them... lol
psa; cables make a huge difference in my experience.
I also have a tronsmart qc2 1 + 3 fast port car charger Ill test and post results.
Perhaps not the right thread but I have just been sent these USB-C cables to review for free.

Amazon says they are rated to 2.4A but will they damage by Pixel XL? I'm not expecting them to charge 'rapidly' but would be handy to be able to use them with an older 2A charger.
Do you think they are safe?

Why do so many people try to get a charger with as high a wattage rating as possible but ignore the fact that USB-C is limited to 3A and all you need to do is find a charger capable of delivering 3A.
What does wattage have to do with things?
Not trying to be a jerk, I'm just assuming I must be missing something here.

Because more watts = more power. USB-C may be limited to 3A, but it is not limited to 5V. Higher volts at the same amperage = more wattage = more power. If you want the fastest charging possible, you need a 9V/2A+ USB-PD charger.

I didn't realize it was OK to go with higher than 5v now.
Do you know if it's okay to hard wire directly into a 12V system for charging? Like in the car? I'm guessing "no it's not okay" but I'm still learning about USB-C.

tap = hard wire/splice into. As in, no adapter. Just a USB-C at one end and then snip the connector off the other end and use the two power wires and two ground wires to splice directly into say, the back of a cigarette charger's 12V wiring.

There is no way that would work, nor would it be safe. There HAS to be an adapter to safely charge the phone by regulating voltage and current, as well as shutting off the charge once it hits 100%.

It's my understanding that some/all of the regulating is done on-board some phones.
I know I never had any issues with my 3A 12v to 5v converter hard wired to S4 and Note 3 phones for charging in either my car or Motorcycle.
At least, I didn't notice any issues.

Well you're a brave soul. I wouldn't ever think to try something like that. Especially not with USB-C & Power Delivery now. The phone is responsible for some of the charging regulation, but the charger itself is just as important.

Because with USB PD the Pixel can charge at 18W by using 2A by 9V. So just looking for a 3A charger doesn't give you the fastest possible charging for the Pixel. Using a standard 3A charger will charge it at 3A by 5V for 15W. You multiply the voltage and amperage to determine wattage.

No definitely not. Car Battery supplies too much wattage/amerpage and its missing the PD ic and other protections in most good charger (over volt, under volt, circuit protection, trickle, power cut off, ect). Thats why all this talk about chargers and cables that do not meet requirements burning equipment/phones up.
It will never know when to stop charging or if over charging and catch fire...
Thats why its not advisable to buy cheap no name unbranded batteries, cables and chargers.
Usb c isnt just a connector/ plug theres an ic (computer chip) in control as well on both sides.
The chip in your battery talks w the one in the phone that talks w the one in the charger..
