i have an x1 yoga, the one that started using usb-c ports instead of the older rectangular charging ports. ive had to buy 3 cables now, which are not cheap because they are attached to a brick, and i resoldered the cable myself twice as well, so basically 5 times ive had to replace it in the space of 2 years. ive been using thinkpads for as long as i can remember and this was never an issue for me.

i think the usb-c port is connected directly to the motherboard as well so i suppose i should be greatful that its only the cable that's been breaking. im going to sell this off soon and im pretty much done with lenovo for the foreseeable future

It would be easier to buy a >60w USB charging brick and a USB cable. Then you can just replace the cable next time it breaks. They're only a few £

This is how I power my Xiaomi and Macbook laptops.
