Best Car Chargers for Your Phone: A Buyer's Guide
A dead phone in the car isn't just inconvenient — if you're relying on GPS, it can genuinely ruin your trip. A good car charger keeps your phone topped up the entire drive, but the wrong one can leave you charging at a crawl. Here's how to pick the right one.
One port or two? Cable included or not?
If you're usually charging solo, a single-port charger keeps things simple. But if you're often charging a passenger's phone too — or running a phone mount and a phone at once — a dual-port charger means nobody's stuck waiting. And if you don't want to hunt for a spare cable every time you get in the car, a charger that comes with the cable built in is one less thing to think about.
Match the charger to your device
- Simple and flexible: the 2-in-1 USB-A/USB-C Car Adapter (60W) gives you both port types, so it works with practically any cable you already own — great if you're charging more than one type of device.
- All-in-one for Android/USB-C phones: the USB-C Car Charger with USB-C to USB-C Cable comes with the cable built in, so you're ready to charge the moment you plug it in.
- All-in-one for iPhone: the USB-C Car Charger with USB-C to Lightning Cable pairs a fast car charger with the right cable for your iPhone, out of the box.
Why the cable matters as much as the charger
A fast car charger paired with a worn-out or underpowered cable will still charge slowly — the cable is just as much a part of "fast charging" as the charger itself. That's why our combo car chargers include a matched cable rated for the charger's full output, so you actually get the speed you're paying for.
Built for the glovebox, not just the store shelf
Car chargers deal with heat, vibration, and getting jammed into cup holders and glove compartments. Every AtiqFas car charger is built with a compact, durable housing designed to survive daily life in a vehicle — not just look good in packaging.
Which one should you buy?
If you want maximum flexibility for multiple devices, go with the 2-in-1 adapter. If you want the simplest possible setup — plug in and go — the all-in-one combo that matches your phone's connector is the better pick.
