The new one or the old one?

1st Gen

The older one was updated to come with a lightning to lightning adapter. Just get a lightning cable and plug into the adapter and plug the pencil in the other end. You will not be able to see the battery percentage on your mac.

And if you bought it before it was updated, you won’t be able to use this adapter because you won't have it.

2nd Gen

This pencil can ONLY be charged using 2018 iPad Pro.
