Review:
“These are Benson-approved models and work extremely well. I just wish it had two ports as opposed to the dedicated cable. But with its seal of approval for USB-C devices, I didn’t want to pick anything else. We’ve purchased three at this point and they are all working perfectly.”
2. SCOSCHE MPQWD-XTSP MagicMount Pro Charge
The MPQWD-XTSP MagicMount Pro Charge is perfect for conveniently mounting and wirelessly charging your Qi-enabled or Samsung AFC smartphone device. It has been Qi-Certified for compatibility with any Qi-enabled device including Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC) to give you the fastest charge possible on your Samsung AFC equipped device. Secure the mount to the dash, window or any flat surface in your car with the reusable StickGrip strong hold suction cup base or low-profile automotive grade adhesive base and lock your Qi-compatible smartphone device in place with the magnetic connection. Once secured, wirelessly charge your Qi-enabled device with up to 10-Watts of charging power without using any charging cable plugged directly into your device. To charge your phone, just plug in the 12V car power adapter into your vehicles outlet and then connect the included cable to the back of the mount for power. The foreign object detection makes sure that charging only activates when your phone is properly placed over the charging area and when nothing is obstructing that area. Features a 360-degree adjustable angle with lock-nut for rotating between portrait or landscape orientation in a snap. Its cradle-free design eliminates the need to tighten around your device, just hover your device near the magnetic surface and it instantly locks securely in place.

Includes protective film which protects your device for easy mounting and removal of the included MagicMount metal plate without damaging your phone. It is now the law in many states that you must have your smartphone mounted in your vehicle while driving.
Review:
The MagicMount CHARGE is similar to iOttie’s iTap Wireless Qi Wireless we mentioned earlier. Rather than having a cradle for your smartphone to rest in, this one uses magnets to hold your smartphone.
The charger comes with thin but powerful magnets that you put behind your smartphone’s case or stick to the back of your phone with a removable adhesive. Its mount has a suction cup that you place either on your dashboard or the windshield. Its arm adjusts and rotates 360 degrees, making this a good choice if you like to use a maps app in landscape mode.
3. USB Car Charger RAVPower
Ideal for almost any vehicle, once connected to the cigarette lighter port, you can simultaneously power two devices – including two tablets – thanks to the combined 4.8A output. Featuring scratch-resistant coating, it will always look as new as the day you bought it.
Review:
Although it’s small (only 2.3 inches long), the RP-VC006 is still easy to remove from your car’s accessory-power port, and the contrasting white USB ports and glowing LED make it easier to see where to plug in. Even if you don’t (yet) need a dual-port charger, the RP-VC006’s price is so low that there’s no reason to consider a single-port charger, and unlike many inexpensive chargers, it comes from a reputable company with a solid warranty.
4. Wireless Charger for iPhone
This car mount and holder features a smart, automatic lock and unlock that opens with one touch, then securely hugs your phone when you place it over the built-in infrared sensor. The Qi certified wireless charger is safe, reliable, and optimized to work with Apple and Samsung Fast Charge so you can get the fastest possible charging speed to your compatible smartphone and use maps, stream music, or take a phone call without losing battery life. The mount also holds a small 250 mAh backup battery so users can utilize the automatic lock and unlock feature even when the device is not connected to power. Bolt Smart Car Mount and Qi Wireless Charger comes with an air vent holder, charging cable, and dual USB car charger with Quick Charge 3.0 and 2.1A outputs. Note: a QC 2.0/3.0/4.0 charger is required to achieve fast charging with Bolt. Dash & Windshield Mount sold separately. Works with all Qi compatible smartphones including the Apple iPhone XS, iPhone X, iPhone 8, 8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S9, S9+, S8, S8+, and other Qi-enabled devices. The Fast Charge feature is compatible with iPhone 8 or later and Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, and later models of the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series. Standard charging speed applies to other Qi enabled devices.
Review:
Its claw grip widens significantly and automatically to accommodate wide phablets like the iphone 8, and it has two “feet” at the bottom that you can lower to ensure that your smartphone’s charging coils line up with the charger’s coil to begin the charging process.
This Qi charger affixes to your vehicle’s AC vent, or you can stick it to your dashboard or windshield. We love that the mount rotates, meaning you can use your phone in landscape or portrait mode. Plus, it’s powerful enough to charge your phone even through a thick leather case.
5. Ainope USB Car Charger
Your safety is our first concern. We engineered this car charger with voltmeter to keep you informed of the car’s health. Before your car gets started, voltage between 12.8v-12.2v is normal. After the car gets started, voltage between 14.8v-13.4v is normal. Please replace the battery immediately when the voltage is below 12v.
Review:
This product works well as a charger. It has two USB connections, so it is worth the price. Now, the extras: plug it in and turn your key. You will see your battery voltage. You now have a voltmeter! In the past, I helped someone whose car wouldn’t start and I had to try to figure out whether their battery was dead (and if so, how dead); in this case I had them turn on their car headlights and then I guessed whether the battery was working. Now, with this device, I can plug it directly into their 12V socket, turn the key and it will tell me exactly what their battery is doing. When I put jumper cables between the two cars, the voltage jumps up to show that the second, good vehicle is indeed charging their dead battery. When I’m charging a device, the display alternates between volts and amps, so I know my vehicle’s battery/charging status (volts), while the amps gives me an idea of the amount of power going into my device while it’s charging.

Review:
“After throwing away a few duds, I was skeptical that I’d find a car charger compatible with my iPhone 7 Plus, my spouse’s iPhone 6, and my iPad. I am relieved to say I’ve been using this daily, and I’m incredibly happy with this purchase. I am on my cell phone on the road quite frequently for business, and I am so thankful that this simultaneously charges my iPad and iPhone very quickly. This car charger works with every brand and device we own. I feel it’s a practical purchase that’s definitely worth the price.”
7. iOttie iTap Qi Fast Charging Wireless Magnetic Car Mount
Review:
Most wireless car chargers feature clunky, claw-shaped designs that grip your device and may even scuff their leather cases. iOttie created a mount that resolves this issue entirely with the use of magnets.
Like other wireless car chargers, this one affixes to your car’s dashboard with a sticky adhesive, but what makes it different is how you attach your phone to it. Instead of an adjustable claw to grip your phone or a cradle for it to rest in, you stick a small magnet to your phone’s backside, or place the magnet in your phone’s case. Then, you just stick it to the magnetic charging pad, and voilà — your phone starts charging. The magnets keep your phone stable and secure, even on bumpy roads.

Review:
“This thing is great. I never have to touch my phone. It hears me every time. Does exactly what I expect it to. Plays music. Gets directions. Links to my phone while it’s still in my pocket. The charger works perfectly. I can’t say enough good things about this product. I’ve had it for a few days only but I already know this device will be in every car you own until Alexa starts being built-in by the auto makers”.
9. Nekteck USB-IF Certified USB Type C Car Charger
If you want to fast charge your iPhone X/8, Xs Max, Apple Original Lightning To Type-C Cable is REQUIRED (NOT included)45W is the maximum output from the Type-C port, However, most cellphone can ONLY draw up to 18W.due to different protocol, some devices use QC protocol like Samsung, LG may NOT “fast charging”The charger may not be compatible with HP Spectre x2, Pavilion x2, and Lumia 950/950XL.There might be NO “double chime” when it’s fast charging iPhone X, Xs, Xs Max due to different chipset/firmware.Some laptop does not have full-featured USB-C port, so it won’t get charged by USB C because it may not support the Power Delivery
Review:
The field of USB-C car chargers is still relatively small, but among the models we tested, Nekteck’s PD 45W Type-C Car Charger is the best for charging your phone or computer on the go. Its USB-C port and included cable can charge at up to 45 watts, suitable for pretty much any device (including most laptops), and its USB-A port supports 12-watt charging. We can’t guarantee it will work with every computer, as USB-C charging is never a sure bet, but in our tests it provided its promised charge rate, and it’s USB-IF certified
10. Handsfree Call Car Charger
You need an In-car FM transmitter to stream music from your phone, tablet, MP3, MP4, TF card, even USB flash disk to the car stereo system. enjoy music and handsfree call on the road.
Review:
“This is the best of the three bluetooth adapters we’ve purchased. Its size is perfect for our car and the phone button is in a very easy-to-see-and-reach area of the device. We especially like the ease of adjusting the volume by turning the phone button. The device connects to our phones easily via bluetooth and the radio sound is excellent, with no static. We paired the device with the Google Android Auto app, which brought our older car up to date with current car models. We use the app to integrate Google Maps, the phone’s telephone features, and our favorite music app all into a single, easy-to-use interface.”
