Can I use an iPad charger with a USB-2 to USB-C cable to charge my (just aquired) 2018 15" MacBook Pro?

I thought I could, but with the one USB-2 to USB-C cable that I own so far it does not work. Would I need a cable for that that is explicitly capable of being used for charging?

I know it would take long to charge the MacBook with an iPad charger. That's not a problem for me; I just would like to have several chargers in several places ready (and I do have several iPad chargers).

Thanks - desertman
