Well probably not. Note that it's the same price as the USB-A port and cheaper than any of the others.
Also the base of each of those modules is USB-C
> Do I need to have a USB-C Expansion Card to charge the Framework Laptop?
> The Framework Laptop charges over USB-C from any one of the four Expansion Card bays. We suggest configuring with at least one USB-C Expansion Card, since it is difficult to directly plug into the recessed USB-C receptacle that is inside the bay.
This probably means the body of the laptop supports all those things and the USB-C module is just wires.
What's the cost of that support in the body itself? Not stated.
> The default card, supporting USB4, 20V/5A charging, and DisplayPort Alt Mode for connecting monitors, all on either side of the notebook.
