Read an article that Apple have been cheap and sent with a less powerful charger with the MBA. (30W)
MBP comes with a double effective charger (61W).
So check up what charger you have?
MacWorld Sweden recommended to buy a stronger charger for MBA.
See if I’ll need it later. Maybe.

haha so they gave us a weaker charger on our 1k phones and a charger not strong enough to charge my computer.....
Apple is almost dead to me. I can still return both items. I mean its been almost my whole life with apple products but how they keep screwing over the consumer or cutting corners to get insane margins is getting ridiculous at this point. I had to buy 3 dongles as soon as I got this thing.
WHY doesn't the iPhone XS come with USB C !!!

My MBA was around 55% earlier this morning and I put it on the charger knowing that I was heading out later and would be using it on battery for a while. I went and made breakfast and did a few things and check back on it and it was up in the 85% range after what seemed like minutes. Getting a full charge on mine doesn't seem to take all that long at all.

I prefer slow charging. Now that battery replacements are not as simple as a previous era I like the battery longevity that slow charging provides.
