Wireless charging is finally in your car - Here’s what you need to get started

Are you still buying gas station charging cables for your phone? Stop plugging it into the cigarette lighter and leaning it in the console (we all know it will slip between the seats anyway).

Magnetic-safe wireless charging is finally here for your car. Keep your battery full, your eyes on the road and charge smarter without dropping your phone. Here are our top picks.

Anker MagGo magnetic wireless phone charger

Anker is the best mid-tier brand, bringing quality and cost-effectiveness into its products. This wireless charger runs on a five-foot cable included in the package, so you don’t have to worry about running out of slack when you plug it in.

While this charger is designed to work with iPhones, you also get a plug-in dual-USB port charger for Android devices. The strong magnetic pull and durable arm ensure your phone isn’t going anywhere until you’re ready to remove it.

The dashboard mounting option is simple. The arms have a clamp, and the charging rate of 15W means you won’t have to worry about overcharging your battery during short trips. It’s the quickest, most versatile way to charge your phone while you drive.
