Powered USB-C hubs
Discussion
Due to the work I do, I have a lot of USB-C peripherals that need power and data (multiple phones, an iPad and various bits of other hardware). I’m looking for a USB-C hub which provides power and data to all ports, but I’m not sure if such a thing exists?
I bought a powered Urgreen hub which I thought would do the job, but the power is actually only a pass through to the host computer, the other devices seem to only receive minimal power from the laptop. So the issue is, the iPad and some of the phones run out of battery after a few hours of running.
Found some fancy Anker and Urgreen docking stations, but they seem more targeted towards running multiple displays over Thunderbolt (with a few additional USB-C ports tacked on). I can’t be the only person with this problem?

I bought this a few weeks ago. I've a half a dozen peripherals plugged in and powered through it.
It's worked flawlessly so far.
It might be a USB-C charging station you want, OP?
Not all USB-C ports on a hub will support proper power pass-through as far as I know. Do you need power and data at the same time?
