Not charging macbook pro

Did anyone get a satisfactory solution to Macbook pro 16 not changing? Just got mine in December, 2020. Tried different cables/Apple chargers. It’s not able to fully boot because battery too low.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.2

Low battery or not you should be able to boot if you are plugged into the mains...(?)
