The Anker Roav SmartCharge Spectrum 30W Car Charger is by far the best car charger we’ve ever used because it’s so much more than just a car charger. On top of offering two USB ports as well as lightning-fast Quick Charge 3.0 support, it has several features you won’t find on other chargers. For one thing, it uses an accompanying app to remember exactly where you park my saving the location as soon as the charger disconnects from your phone. It also monitors your car battery health and warns you if it’s about to die, and it has ambient LED lighting with colors you can adjust.
