I remember seeing a few posts in the past few months asking/speculating about the maximum power that the USB-C ports can deliver. I just connected my MacBook Pro to the two USB-C ports in the cabin (under the 15" display, and below rear seat AC vents).
My mac reported 15W. This tells me that the USB-C port on Mach E doesn't support USB PD (power delivery), and can go up to 5V * 3A.
Through a USB to USB-C cable, my mac reported 8W from the USB port (i.e. the USB-A port).
It appears that both ports can supply the power independently. (I plugged a phone to the USB port, and the reading from my mac plugged into the USB-C port still says 15W.)
Most modern phones and iPad can do 18W. 15W is good enough. This is OK-ish for iPad Pro and similar devices, and a bit lacking for laptops.
Overall, I'd say Mach E met my expectation here. It would be a pleasant surprise if it can do 60W or 100W, but I wasn't really expecting it.
