Detailed overview: Anker 30W car charger with USB-C + USB-A
The Anker 30W car charger is an ultra-compact car adapter that focuses on the essentials: one USB-C port, one USB-A port and reliable fast charging in a tiny body. Once inserted into the 12V socket, it sits almost flush, without protruding or getting in the way of the gear lever, a real advantage over bulky chargers.
It delivers up to 30W and relies on Anker's own PowerIQ 3.0 technology to match power to each device. In practice, it recharges a smartphone up to 3 times faster than a stock 5V charger, enough to top up an iPhone on a single trip. Its USB-C and USB-A ports let you charge two devices at once, driver and passenger for example, with intelligent power sharing.
For safety, Anker includes protection against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and overheating, for safe charging trip after trip. The charger is compatible with the vast majority of USB-C devices: iPhone (15, 16, 17 and Lightning models via a suitable cable), Samsung Galaxy, iPad, earbuds and accessories.
Simple, discreet and efficient, this charger is a perfect fit for anyone wanting a fast, reliable in-car charging solution without cluttering the cabin. With one USB-C port and one USB-A port, it takes recent USB-C cables and older USB-A cables alike, no adapter needed.

Our tester's review: Christophe Delpuech
The Anker 30W car charger does exactly what you ask of it, no fuss. What I liked first is its size: once plugged in, it barely protrudes from the 12V socket, so it does not get in the way of the gear lever or storage, unlike many chargers that stick out several centimetres. The USB-C and USB-A ports are a real everyday comfort: driver and passenger can charge at the same time, and PowerIQ fast charging tops up an iPhone in a single trip. Anker's finish is neat, the body does not heat up worryingly, and the light ring helps find the ports at night. One USB-C port and one USB-A port, so even an old USB-A cable plugs straight in without an adapter. At this price, it is a reliable, clever little accessory I recommend for fitting any car.
