A PD ("power delivery") charger or PD battery pack. USB-C cable, both ends (any will do).

No need to buy the Canon accessory. Any brand charger with the USB-C PD implementation will do. This is the latest technology, and it is a standard. Canon is on the frontier here, and it is not proprietary.

Have you tried charging with a power bank? If so, which have you tried?
I have a PD capable power bank and a good quality USB-C to USB-C cable - it will charge the battery in-camera when turned off, but it won't power the camera when turned on.
Also, I can charge the battery in-camera with a regular USB charge (non PD).

I'm not sure where, but I think I read somewhere that the camera is picky about PD power banks regarding which ones work and which don't when it comes to powering the camera.
