The Nanobit really is the world's smallest car charger. In fact, it's so small that it sits completely flush with your car's lighter socket. But don't let that fool you- the Nanobit packs a serious punch, with up to 30W of power at the ready through either a Quick Charge 3.0 standard USB port or a Power Delivery USB-C port, enough to charge the latest iPhone and iPad Pro at their maximum charging speeds or fast-charge two devices at once. Made from tough, solid metal for long-lasting durability and a premium feel, the Nanobit's gunmetal body is paired with a chrome removal handle that folds away seamlessly into the charger's face. Whether you're using it for travel, for work, or in your own vehicle, you'll experience why Car and Driver is The First Name in Automotive Expertise.

Dual charging: The Nanobit's two ports, one standard USB and one USB-C, let you charge two devices at the same time.
Quick charge 3.0 and power delivery: Charge multiple times faster than standard chargers by unlocking up to 30W of ultra-high-speed charging power with quick charge 3.0 and power delivery (note: compatible cables required).
Sits flush with dash: The Nanobit's no-profile design sits completely flush with your dash, giving you a seamless factory-installed look and even the ability to close your lighter socket's cover when not in use.
Built-in handle: The chromed metal handle pops out for easy removal and folds away seamlessly.
Durable metal construction: The Nanobit's premium, rough-and-tumble solid metal casing comes in a classic gunmetal and chrome look that's built tough to last, inside and out.

Perfect mini car port charger!
Probably my favorite car charger I’ve owned. I recently got a new Jeep Grand Cherokee which had usb C charging ports. While this is great, I noticed that it wasn’t charging as fast as I’d like so I went looking for a car port charger. This one is amazingly sleek and small to the point where it is actually a flush fit with the port. It honestly looks like it was meant to be there from the factory. It has a little half ring on the bottom to each pull it out when needed, and so far everything is working perfectly. I’ve even tested it with a power meter and I’m getting well above apples own faster charger wattage(20W) and very close to the rated maximum wattage of this charger which is 30W(see pictures). It’s also extremely nice that this charger has both a usb C and usb A port. Overall I love it.
