Which USB docking station offers power supply directly for laptop?

Hello guys, I want to know if it's there any USB 3.0 docking station that actually supports power for the laptop, so I don't have to connect the laptop to the power supply, only to the docking station, just like an normal, non-USB docking station? Thanks and have a nice day!

That's awesome news, thanks! So basically any product that has USB Type-C connector supports direct charging for laptops. Have a nice day!
