90W, 125W or 150W? Car charger power, explained plainly

The big number on a car charger is the total across all ports. What your phone actually gets depends on the port, the cable and the protocol both ends agree on.

  1. PD and QC in one line each

    USB Power Delivery (PD) is the USB-C standard iPhones, Galaxies, iPads and laptops use. Quick Charge (QC) is the USB-A fast-charge standard older Android phones prefer.

  2. How our chargers split power

    90W: 45W USB-C + 45W USB-A. 125W: 65W USB-C + 60W USB-A. 150W: 65W + 65W over two USB-C ports, plus 20W USB-A.

  3. What a phone really draws

    Current iPhones peak around 27–40W, Galaxy Ultras around 45W. Anything above that is headroom — for a tablet, a laptop, or a second phone at full speed.

  4. Why 12V vs 24V matters

    Peak USB-A output on the 125W model is reached in 20V-capable systems such as trucks. In a typical 12V car, USB-C still delivers its full 65W.

  5. Don't forget the cable

    A 60W or higher USB-C cable is needed to pass 45–65W. Our 125W and 90W bundles include one.
