The 5 best USB-C car chargers with Power Delivery in 2020

What are the best USB-C car chargers currently on the market?

These so common devices are now indispensable objects for anyone who regularly uses the smartphone.

Through them, in fact, you can always keep your mobile phone charged (and not only).

Although it is apparently a simple product, in reality, the market offers several variations, among which it is not so simple to choose.

Even going to frame an even narrower niche, such as that relating to car devices, the offer in this sector is quite wide and varied.

All the products we will talk about today have at least one USB-C port with  Power Delivery, a feature that guarantees maximum quality and charging speed even with the most modern devices.

Below we will analyze every single detail of these products, to have the information necessary for choosing.

The best USB-C chargers to use in the car

Those who find themselves travelling a lot with their vehicle, for example, may easily need to top up their mobile phone.

If it is true that there are rather functional power banks in this sense, adopting a USB-C charger with Power Delivery can be an even more convenient solution.

In this sense, there are devices specially designed for cars.

Compared to USB-C wall or table chargers, this type of product tends to be less bulky and particularly comfortable to keep in the car, ready for any eventuality.

Compared to their predecessors, the new generation USB Type C chargers are capable of delivering a large number of total Watts, even on multiple devices simultaneously.

This allows you to be able, for example, to work simultaneously not only on your smartphone but also on any MP3 player or on your eBook Reader.

We are therefore going to analyze, in particular, the characteristics to be taken into account before purchasing this product.

USB Type-C and Power Delivery

USB-C is a cable standard that replaces the Type-A and Type-B standards.

The maximum speed for data transmission is 10 GB / s. Furthermore, the connector can be inserted in both sides, which eliminates the need to look for a hypothetical correct side.

What does Power Delivery mean? This value, often abbreviated with the abbreviation PD, allows you to recharge some iOS and Android devices up to 70% faster than the standard recharge.

According to some estimates, PD allows users to recharge an iPhone X up to 50% in just 30 minutes.

Achieving a capacity of up to 100 W, compatible chargers with this technology can safely charge larger devices, including computers.

– Intensity and Ampere

Intensity is a value that is defined in mAh (i.e. milliamperora) and defines the battery capacity during charging.

Each charger has a value in Ampere, which defines compatibility or not with certain devices.

The smartphones currently on the market are generally chargeable with an amperage ranging from 1 to 2.4.

From this point of view, we recommend that you carefully read both the datasheet of your mobile device and the specifications of the charger you are about to purchase (in order to avoid overload problems or the like).

– Number of USB ports

A feature that can take on more or less important for the user is the number of USB ports supplied.

If it is true that the best USB-C chargers have various ports, it should be noted that, for a user who intends to regularly charge just one smartphone, these can be almost superfluous.

Especially since models with more doors also tend to have higher costs.

– Overheating and preventing other problems

Before proceeding with the purchase, it may be a good habit to examine the product to find any safety solutions.

Many of them, or at least the most advanced, have protection systems against overheating and short circuits.

It is absolutely superfluous to underline how it is better to avoid problems of this type.
