Conclusion

EPR is a defining new development within the USB-C ecosystem. These extended voltage levels allow for higher-power applications, which will broaden the use cases for USB-C interfaces. There are some challenges in terms of new cabling specifications and power path design, but ultimately the flexibility and backward compatibility should pave a strong path to universalize the USB-C interface.
