I tried to charge my Chromebook in 3.2 gen 2 with a old USB cable to a budget Motorola phone. It took 45min to charge 6%. I guess it must be the USB cable not being capable to handle 3.2?

Not necessarily, but that'd be my first guess too. IIRC, there's several 'flavors' of USB-C - USB-C cable as spec'd by USB-IF.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but...
a Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 cable should be a fairly surefire way to get full USB 3.2 speeds *and* fast-charging (if USB-PD is supported by the phone. Typ. 5V 3A option on budget devices, IIRC)

What's the specs of the Chromebook you're using? I don't know about those but I guess it has to support fast charging, dunno does the cable have that important role in it.

It has nothing to do with the USB generation, a USB 2.0 data capable cable would've worked just fine.
What you need, is a USB PD compliant cable, for at least 65 W, not sure if the Chromebook can handle more. Anything above 65 W requires an e-marker chip in the cable.

USB4 is Coming - Everything You Need to Know
USB4 is the next evolution of the USB standard, but it's quite different from its predecessors as it brings with it support for DisplayPort connectivity, as well as optional PCI-Express and Thunderbolt 3 support. It tries to fix some technical issues, but adds a few of its own, but at least the...
Unfortunately no, see above, it has nothing to do with the data capabilities. Thunderbolt is only 15 W and USB4 doesn't have to be more than 7.5 W.

Yep, even USB2 can give more than the typical 2.5W.
