Your phone’s battery always seems to drain fastest on the road — GPS, music streaming, and calls all add up. A car charger fixes that, but not all car chargers charge at the same speed. Here’s how to pick the right wattage so your phone actually tops up fast, not just trickles.
Why Wattage Matters in a Car Charger
A low-wattage car charger (under 20W) will charge your phone, but slowly — sometimes barely keeping up with battery drain from GPS and streaming during a long drive. A higher-wattage PD (Power Delivery) car charger can fast-charge a modern phone from low battery to a safe level in the time it takes to run an errand or finish a commute.
For a Single Phone: 30W-40W Is Plenty
If you’re just charging one phone, you don’t need to go overboard. The Voyager 38W PD Car Charger delivers proper fast-charging speeds for a single device without taking up more space than needed in your cup holder or dash.
Family Trips or Multiple Devices: Go Higher
If you’re regularly charging more than one device at once — your phone plus a passenger’s, or a phone and a tablet — a higher-output charger with multiple ports makes sense. The TAAR Cirql 230W PD Car Charger is built for exactly this, splitting power across multiple ports without any single device charging noticeably slower.
Built-In Cable vs Separate Cable
Some car chargers come with a retractable or built-in cable, which means one less thing to lose in the car. The TAAR OMI 81W PD Car Charger with Retractable USB-C Cable is a good pick if you’d rather not keep a loose cable rattling around — just plug it into the port and you’re set.
