I've never seen one with that much power for phones... at 5v that would be 6A for the 30watts one... must be designed for laptops

Basically every phone made in the last 5 years will charge at over 5v for "quick charging".
The USB is typically only up to 3 amps max at any voltage less than 20.
Depends on the phone. Oneplus has a 65 watt charger.
My cheap(ish) phone has ~30W charger too. It's something like 2,5A/12V or 1,5A/18V, which is pretty common these days. I believe I've seen phones with up to 100W charging capability (not sure about longevity though).

It looks like it'll only do 3A over 5V which is typical. You'll need to connect something that can accept 15 or 20V to get the full 45W. The upside of these is it supports 15V for devices that don't go higher, since it seems to be the least common supported voltage for usb pd chargers.
This feels like an advertisement article...single port USB-C PD chargers with 20-30W output in the <$10 range are not at all hard to find already.
Quality, higher-wattage ones are harder to come by at that price (e.g. 45W and up are $20+ for decent brands), but I can get a 2-pack of name-brand (Anker) 20W chargers for $10-15.
I'm guessing Ikea is just rebranding crappy chargers, so no thank you, I would rather not have my phone, tablet, etc get broken because I was too cheap to spend an extra $10 on a better brand charger.
Big Clive has done teardowns of IKEA chargers before and rates them highly for quality and safety.

Huh, cool channel, I'll check him out.

Would be interesting to see a tear down of these to see how safe they are.
First thing I found on the ikea website is a recall of the older USB charger.
It says right there in your screenshot that it's the CABLE that can become damaged.
Like 90% of all the apple cables I've ever seen. But I guess that's different.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ikea is now selling a pair of its own USB-C chargers that start at just $7.99.
Ikea’s chargers are compatible with Power Delivery (PD 3.0), Quick Charge (QC4+), and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) specs.
Both chargers come with a sheet of colored stickers that lets you “personalize” them — useful in households where kids or flatmates can easily mix them up.
At the time of writing Anker’s most affordable single-port USB-C charger has an MSRP of $13.99 and offers 20W of power, while getting 30W of power typically costs $19.99 (though both are currently discounted).
Although you should always check the small print for the charging standards (and voltage / current) your device needs to charge at its fastest, 30W should be enough to fast-charge some Samsung devices and iPhones, and even matches the wattage of the base charger Apple supplies with its M2-powered MacBook Air.
45W should be able to handle some faster-charging devices too — though, again, be sure to check the fine print.
