Dual-Port Car Charger with PD

This dual-port USB car charger plugs into a standard 12V DC vehicle outlet and charges two mobile devices at once. It suits drivers and passengers who need simultaneous power for a USB-C smartphone or tablet and a USB-A device while on the road.

USB-C Power Delivery up to 27W

The USB-C port delivers Power Delivery output at 3.6–6V 3A, 6–9V 2A or 9–12V 1.5A, reaching a maximum of 27W for compatible devices. The USB-A port supplies up to 5V 1A for standard charging needs.

Simple Plug-In Installation

Insert the charger into the vehicle's 12V DC power outlet until it seats firmly; no tools or wiring are required. A loose fit in worn sockets can cause intermittent charging, so verify solid contact if a device stops charging. The adapter is certified to UL 2089 standards for vehicle battery adapters rated 24V DC or less.

Questions about this item

How fast will the 27 W USB-C PD port actually charge my phone in the car?

The USB-C port delivers up to 27 W through three power profiles — 3.6-6 V at 3 A, 6-9 V at 2 A and 9-12 V at 1.5 A — so a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible phone can charge up to four times faster than a basic 5 W charger.

What does the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 label on the USB-C port mean for everyday use?

Quick Charge 3.0 lets the charger negotiate the optimal voltage and current for your device, stepping between the three supported profiles instead of staying at a fixed 5 V, which reduces charge time for compatible phones and tablets.

Will this charger fit flush in my 12 V socket without blocking the adjacent controls?

The compact body plugs directly into any standard 12 V DC vehicle power outlet and is designed to sit low so it rarely interferes with neighbouring buttons or the gear lever.
