Best Car Chargers for Google Pixel and Pixel 2
Keep your Pixel charged while out on the road. Here are our favorite USB-C car chargers.
We've all been there (some of us more than others): You hop in your car ready to rev on the road and then you check your phone - it's dying at a rapid pace! You've barely enough battery life to get to your destination. Well, that's what car chargers are for, and if you've a Google Pixel or Pixel 2, this next list should be particularly resonant for you. Here are some of the best car chargers you can buy for your Pixel or Pixel XL.
Belkin
The Belkin car charger with removable 4-foot USB-C cable is consistently suggested as one of the better car chargers for USB-C compatible devices. Make sure that you purchase the 27-watt version, however, which is capable of delivering enough power to rapidly charge your Pixel or Pixel XL. It can power your tablet and Chromebook in the car, too.
Belkin's car charger is available from $19.
Tronsmart
Tronsmart's car charger with a built-in USB-C cable is easily your best option for keeping your Pixel juiced on the road, and it sells for $15.
The attached USB-C cable means no need to remember one every time you drive, and the USB Type A port is handy for charging another device at the same time via Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0. Your Pixel will charge quickly and efficiently, thanks to USB 3.1 and its delivery of 5V at 3A.
If you want a car charger that has exactly what you need to keep your Pixel going, check out the Benson-approved Tronsmart 33W dual USB charger.
Maxboost
Maxboost's 35W charger is another to feature a built-in USB-C cable, so you never have to worry about forgetting yours at home. The other USB port is great for any of your Quick Charge 2.0 devices and charges with up to 18W (12V/1.5A, 9V/2A, 5V/2A).
The handiest part of this charger is its muted light-up ring that shines when plugged in. It's dimmed so as not to distract you while you drive.
This charger comes in black or white, each with a blue LED ring, so you can match it to any color Pixel you have! Yours for $19.
Aukey
Aukey's charger features both a USB-C port and a USB Type A port, so you can charge your Pixel and another device at the same time. While your Pixel won't work with the built-in Quick Charge 3.0 support, charging at up to 3A is supported for speedy refills via the USB-C port.
(And hey, if you have other devices that do support QC3, the USB-A port has you covered. All this for just $16.
