I don't know about charging faster. In addition to my cable back in the bedroom, I have a wireless charger on a table by my chair. I, too, have a 16E.
I have it, where it won't charge about 90%.

Two questions: First, I have the cord that came with the phone and I also bought a USB-C to USB-A cord at the Apple store for places in my house that have the USB-A slot in the wall outlet. My observation using the cord is that charging is slower than I thought. When people talk about fast charging, is this an upgraded cord I need to buy rather than the default cord from Apple? Second, and independent of the above answer, can I charge the phone with any USB-C cord I have or do I need to be careful about what I grab? We have a number of them around the house for my husband’s android, other small devices and also for a few laptops. I’m thinking I shouldn’t use the one for the laptop assuming that gives more power, but that is a wild guess.
