"Does it support Quick Charge and Power Delivery fast charging protocols?+
Yes, Anker Nano supports both Quick Charge and Power Deliver protocols."
So I think this is actually the newer/better version that is fully compatible with PD
"PowerIQ 3.0 is Anker's version of Quick Charge 4+. Both combine USB PD and Quick Charge 3.0 (or PowerIQ 2.0 in Anker's case) on the same USB-C port. PowerIQ 2.0 (the tech on the USB-A ports of these chargers) is Anker's version of Quick Charge 3.0. Anker's tech is mimicking Qualcomm's tech. So for the most part it is cross-compatible with Quick Charge and other similar fast charging standards."
TL;DR: PD is part of the plug.
The most important thing to note is that this plug does 9v 2.22a. This is important if you are using a magsafe charger as it would not charge at the full 15W otherwise. I just found this out reading reviews this am. This plug is fully capable of this. But if you say for a 96W apple charger with PD, even that won't give you the full 15W speed through magsafe. How crazy is that?!

Also does this support the full charging speed of the MagSafe charger? Because apparently not all USB-C chargers do ):

Its Apple, so thats not crazy at all. If they can sell you an "updated" charger for any reason, they will do so.
