No.
The second generation Apple Pencil uses inductive charging from compatible models of iPad. The second generation Apple Pencil does not support pairing/charging using a cable.
For compatible model of iPad, the second generation Pencil magnetically attaches to the inductive charging port of the host iPad. Unlike the first generation Apple Pencil, there is no direct electrical connection between the iPad and Pencil.
Here is Apple’s definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:

The two models of Pencil are not interchangeable.
