Evidence notes

Google doesn't publish a model number on the product page.
PPS levels are published as maximums (“up to”); minimum voltages aren't stated.
We couldn't check the UL and Intertek certification databases automatically on 2026-10-24; a manual check is still to do.
Google's Safety, Warranty & Regulatory Guide for the 45W USB-C Charger lists model GW8L7 (FCC section); it states FCC Part 15 compliance but no FCC ID. We leave the catalog model empty because the product page doesn't state one.
Release month not recorded: Google's store page and help pages we read give no launch date.
Android Authority's reviewer bought the charger; the page names the product but not a model number. The site discloses affiliate links.
No CPSC recall names this charger; the only Google recall found covers an older HP Chromebook 11 charger (saferproducts.gov searched 2026-10-24).
