Best Low-Profile Car Charger: AUKEY CC-Y12 18W PD Car Charger ($17)
Charging your things from a car is great, but nobody likes to have a giant adapter sticking out of their dashboard. This super low-profile car charger from AUKEY is perfect for people who feel the best accessory is the one that gets out of the way.
At just 1.6-inches long, the AUKEY CC-Y12 car charger will sit almost flush with the 12v port it’s plugged into—it’s so low profile you’ll likely be able to close the dust cover on your 12v port right over it. Despite the small size, however, it puts out 18w of power via the single USB-C PD port and will charge your iPhone or Android phone just fine.
As car chargers go, this one from AUKEY is the best looking one we’ve come across. If that’s your priority and you don’t need a higher output to charger a bigger device faster, this is your car charger.
