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.
