That’s not even enough money to produce the same 5V 1A adapter as always and put it into a new case.
You can still use a fw card for charging, and this to expand the number of ports. And apart from gaming or constant high performance use, you don’t need more than 60-100W. I checked with a testet, watching YouTube in 4k with the screen set high was around 60W.
Btw the fw16 really needs 48V240W, it’s just that doesn’t exist yet.
Personally I ordered without considering the charging at all, so even the 36V seems fine. I’m probably going to use it with my kb and mouse to share a single card.

I do believe there is a 240W adapter on Mouser that one can preorder that is going to be released in December
Google wasn’t help, do you have the exact link?

I am pretty sure this is what Framework Tweeted out at some point … I can’t find the OG tweet …
Oh wow, that’s a big charger! 162 x 72 x 23 mm or 6.4 x 2.8 x 0.9 inches. Glad that something at least is coming on the market soon from a reputable brand.
Digikey has a 240W charger they should be shipping at the end of the month:

I’d say for the wattage it’s okay. I’ve got several 120W and 180W single voltage barrel jack PSUs for my NUCs that are the same size.
^ this is the one I am using.
That can’t do 240W USB-PD.
Rather, it’s only a 140W USB-PD capable charger, except with multiple ports.
It’s the marketing BS some companies like to do, giving the total wattage, and giving the single-port abilities hidden in finer print.
This is the maximum output you can get on each port:
DC: 140 watts
USB-C1 / USB-C2 / USB-C3: 140 watts
USB-A: 30 watts
The Framework charger can do more, 180W

Yup, I just found the same data about the product that’s correct, no 240W Power delivery 
Currently, the only reference I know (and have now) is the DIGIKEY 240W usb-c adapter (1145-ADP-240KBBA) that framework mentionned somewhere some time ago.
I you want to see a sneak peek of the DIGIKEY 240W for some who hesitated without pictures/size comparison of the product check : this link (youtube)

@chet_merrier posted a Pic of the digikey 240w Adapter just 2 Posts above herr 
the digikey one is manufactured by Delta.
Yup I saw it, just there wasn’t the framework charger aside to compare as some may want to now the différence.
It’s really compact for a 240W adapter, even though I think framework manufacturers would do a little better, even more with a replaceable usb c cable. But overall it’s a great adapter.
I’m interested in AllThingsOnePlace reviewing it
btw the powerZ c240 I’m using to see power consumption though usb-c doesn’t work with the adapter, it seam like it can’t power itself (Black screen) while still being capable of charging the laptop

ordered mine also 4 Days ago. Today it arrived. Works mighty fine and isn’t that big.
Finally full Frameowrk16 Performance without worrying fo a dead Battery during Game sessions
I verified by running CPU+GPU Benchmark. GPU pulling 100-120w and CPU about 50w sustained. Battery stayed without a decimal Percentage dropped.

I don’t think a 240w adapter would be as needed if the GPU had its own power input. The GPU could run at a reduced capacity when on laptop power and full capacity when it has its own power.
This would allow for the GPU and the laptop to run at 180w each.
It is electrically not feasable to design something like this. Two different Plugs always need the same common Ground. Pulses Overvoltage Proctection Spike Protection. Thats Costing more than buying oneself the 240w Brick from Delta. When the FW16 was released there was no 240w Brick on the Market. This is the First one,
