Comment on USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray!

The Pi 5 wants 5A and 5V, which I believe [citation needed] isn’t supported by USB-PD:

This article about usb-pd lists 5v 5A as an available option howtogeek.com/…/what-is-usb-power-delivery-usb-pd…

USB PD never exceeds 5A of current, but the voltage can be dynamically configured to meet the needs of a device up to the maximum power limit for the standard.

And

When a USB PD charger connects to a device, it performs a “handshake” asking the device how much power it needs. USB PD supports seven voltage levels at 5V, 9V, 15V, 20V, 28V, 36V, and 48V.
