No, sadly. It's a pretty beefy box on the cord, and I don't know of any USB-C's that can handle that much power.
Sorry, there was a problem.

When charging via USB-C, we recommend utilizing the system's MUX switch to toggle the GPU working mode so that the NVIDIA graphics isn't drawing power, and to limit depending software usage like video editing, rendering, and gaming to reduce the risk of negative battery charging.
