nope as no usb port can handle that amount of voltage & amperage to recharge the laptop's battery.
"USB 3.1 is backward-compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. USB 3.1 has three power profiles (according to USB Power Delivery Specification), and allows larger devices to draw power from a host: up to 2A at 5V (for a power consumption of up to 10W), and optionally up to 5A at either 12V (60W) or 20V (100W)."

That is not true. Some laptops definitely charge over USB-C. Dell XPS13 and LG Gram come to mind. Many don't but it depends on the model.
