The Spigen 45W charger can output 45W of power from its primary USB-C port, sufficient to charge your MacBook Air while driving.

You can use this secondary USB-C port to fast-charge your iPhone or just about any Android phone that supports fast-charging via the USB PD protocol. This is a great accessory for those who wish to charge their MacBook Air and iPhone simultaneously since an iPhone requires a USB-C port compulsorily to charge quickly.
4. Anker 50W Charger
The Anker 50W car charger is a good pick if you’re specifically looking for a charger from a reputed brand that has been making chargers for a long time. The 30W output from the primary USB-C port might seem less given that there are car chargers that are cheaper with up to 45W output. However, you can be worry-free with Anker’s chargers since they have been in the industry for a long time. The secondary USB-C port is quite standard and outputs at 20W, good enough to charge your iPhone quickly. You can also use it to charge an Android phone of your choice.
