It is possible to charge all of these devices with the tizi Tankstation and tizi Tankstelle USB-C chargers. Note regarding MacBook 15" Touch Bar The MacBook 15" Touch Bar is shipped with a Apple 87 watt charger. The full 87 watts are rarely required for normal use. They are only needed when the MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar is under full load (for example when executing processor intensive tasks like gaming or Video cutting, or when other external USB-C devices are connected to your MacBook Pro.) In such cases it can happen, that your MacBook Pro 15" either charges slower than the original charger, or possibly lose some of its charge. Things like quitting intensive Apps, reducing screen brightness, or disconnecting external USB-C consumers will help to reduce the power consumption.
During normal use, a 60W charger like the tizi Tankstation USB-C + 3 USB-A (75W) or the tizi Tankstelle 60W USB-C is sufficient to achieve comparable charging speeds as the original charger from Apple.
