A car charger is not a complicated device. The best USB car charger is the one that charges your phone quickly, does not overheat, allows multiple devices to charge, and remains compatible with whichever USB cable you (or your passengers) happen to have available. It is usually also a trusted brand, with certification to international standards—not a janky gas station charger that'll blow a fuse with an internal short or offer insufficient protection against dust and debris.
\n\nI put car chargers to the test with ammeters and phone apps, and on multi-hour road trips, to make sure each one lived up to its promises. The best car charger I've found is the three-port Anker 167.5W Nano ($38), which combines 100-watt fast-charging capability for auxiliary devices, plus dual-port USB-Cs, USB-A capability, and safety features that include overheat protection.
\n\nIf you shun dangling cords, I offer the Anker 75W Fast Charger ($30) with slightly lower top amperage but a retractable cable. And for families whose kids can't live without constant tablets in the back seat, there's the DeWalt 72W Front and Back Seat Charger ($45).
