With retro phones making a comeback, iPhone SE car chargers have seen a surge in popularity. But what are the Top 10 iPhone SE car chargers you can get right now?*
All Apple products launched after the iPhone 8 in 2017 support USB-C Power Delivery charging, a completely different sect from QualComm and Qi fast charging for Android.
Fast charging demands all products — the device, charging cable, and charging port — are all compatible together. We need to keep this in mind when purchasing chargers for the iPhone SE (2nd gen).
*unless stated otherwise, charging cable not included.

The Anker Power Drive Speed+ 2 smashes dozens of top listings across the Internet. Like most car chargers, the Anker PD Speed+ 2 is designed for the automotive outlet, or cigarette lighter.
49.5W charging and dual ports make the Anker PD Speed+ 2 a crowd favorite. Though the device contains only one USB-C port and one traditional USB-A port, the USB-C port delivers 30W of charge compared to the A port’s 19.5W. Like most similar models, two devices can be charged simultaneously.
