While the ASUS ROG Ally comes with a basic charger, it does not include a docking station.

The USB Type-C output supports up to 60W of power, which is close to the ROG Ally’s maximum charging speed. There is also a USB Type-A port for connecting a keyboard, mouse or USB stick, and an HDMI 2.0 4K @ 60 Hz port for connecting an external TV or monitor.
Also compatible with Steam Deck
You can also apply this dock to charge your Steam Deck and view its videos on a larger monitor or TV.

The only caveat is that the slot is designed to fit over a bare Steam Deck or ROG Ally; if you have a case, you may need to remove it to make it fit.
