USB-C power delivery car charger

Anybody with experience using these or some other usb-c car charger with power delivery? PD is a must have since I have a Pixel 2 XL

I've used the Belkin for a while for the specific purpose of using it with a Pixel 2 XL. The phone displays "charging rapidly" when plugged in. It seems to work fine.

Anker puts out solid, well built and well engineered products. I trust them significantly better than Belkin, who I've known to seeming rebadge other products.

I'm just so confused with everyone's big focus on charging when mobile. I would have thought that the Pixel 2XL would have had enough battery to last through a day or two and all you need to worry is charging at night. I can understand iPhone users, since Apple doesn't seem to give a crap about battery life.

I tend to never dock my phone, unless going on a long trip and then how fast it charges isn't a big deal, as it will be plugged in for a long time.

Do you leave it plugged into the 12v slot and can you close the "flip out" lid?

It's more of an emergency thing. The Pixel 2 will typically last 2 days, the way I use it. But I also have a wifi hotspot in the car that I use with my Blackvue cameras. That drains about 70% during a normal work day. I'm considering using the car charger to charge it during my commutes, so I don't have to bring it in the house every day. Yeah, first world problems.

I have this Car Charge-a-lot - LIFEPOWR and I’m really satisfied. Fast charging is a huge advantage. It’s also compatible with my other devices not only with my phone.

Looks like the charger would block the USB ports, so that would be a deal breaker.

I have this one in my car. I use it to fast charge my iPhone using the USB C, but also it will charge my Macbook Pro!

With that charger plugged in, are you still able to close the lid on that compartment? How far does it stick out?

I don't have a center console, but it sticks out about 1/2"

Ok thanks

This one has 18W PD which is perfect for my Pixel 2 and it's low profile and it's reasonably cheap. However, I imagine it's some cheap Chinese junk that'll light the car on fire
