It will go faster if it's a 12W or 15W port, but still be quite slow. So, if you use a 5W charger (airplane, car, etc.), it will take forever to charge that MacBook (you'll drain battery if you attempt to use it while charging), but it will charge. Otherwise, it will simply draw the maximum which is no more than 12W (5V at 2.4A) If it can negotiate up (to a max of 20V) it will do so. The default charge that comes from a USB-PD device starts out at 5V - this, coincidentally is the same voltage that legacy USB chargers output. The Type C ports on your Mac conform to the USB-PD (Power Delivery Spec) meaning it will negotiate for the maximum charge. I read somewhere that the new MacBook Air computers (the ones with USB-C) can be charged slowly from any USB source using a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
