Short answer: No. Google’s current box contents for the 45W USB-C Power Charger list the charger and a safety/warranty guide; a USB-C charging cable is not listed. If you are buying the adapter for a Pixel, plan to use a compatible USB-C to USB-C cable as well.
What comes with the Google 45W charger?
| Item | Included? |
|---|---|
| Google 45W USB-C Power Charger | Yes |
| Safety / warranty guide | Yes |
| USB-C to USB-C cable | No cable is listed in Google’s current box contents |
This matters because the charger and cable work together. Buying the correct adapter but pairing it with the wrong or damaged cable can leave you with a setup that charges more slowly than expected.
Which cable should you use with the Google 45W charger?
For a modern Google Pixel with USB-C, the straightforward choice is a USB-C to USB-C charging cable that supports the power level you need. Google’s current Pixel charging guidance recommends a compatible USB-C cable and a compatible USB-C power adapter.
The Google 45W charger is a USB-C Power Delivery / PPS charger with output up to 45W. A properly made USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 60W has enough stated power capacity for a 45W charger. However, a cable rating by itself does not guarantee that every Pixel will draw 45W: the phone model, supported charging profile, battery percentage, temperature, charging optimization and other device conditions can all reduce the live charging rate.

US vs EU Google 45W: does the plug change charging speed?
The plug shape is mainly a wall-socket compatibility decision. The US and EU AvaNext listings are both Google 45W USB-C charger options; your Pixel still negotiates the power it can accept. Choose the version that fits your actual wall-socket situation most conveniently rather than assuming one plug shape charges faster.

Can you use USB-A to USB-C?
A USB-A to USB-C setup can charge compatible Pixel devices in some situations, but it is not the direct pairing for this USB-C 45W charger. If your goal is to use the Google 45W adapter as intended, choose USB-C to USB-C.
Why can a Pixel still charge slowly with the right cable?
If the charger and cable are compatible but the phone still reports slow charging, the cause may be the cable condition, connector seating, phone temperature, battery state, charging settings or another device-side limit. Do not replace the charger automatically before checking the full setup.

Bottom line: the current Google 45W charger package does not list a charging cable. For a Pixel, pair the USB-C charger with a compatible USB-C to USB-C cable, then let the phone negotiate the charging level it supports.
