Top 3 Reliable 100W Car Chargers for Laptops

Plenty of excellent wireless car chargers can charge your phone on the go while also serving as a mount. I usually recommend these for everyday use, especially since the latest generation of wireless car chargers is Qi2 magnetic, so you don't even need a clamp to mount your phone. For long-haul journeys, I recommend wired car chargers instead because they support much faster charging speeds and let you recharge several devices at once. If you're traveling with a laptop or a Chromebook, your car charger needs to support at least 60W to 65W minimum to be compatible. That's not enough power to be split between two devices, though, which is where the best 100W car chargers come in.

Anker, Baseus, and UGREEN are the top 3 most reliable brands for charging tech, so it's no surprise that, based on my hands-on testing, the best 100W car chargers are from these brands. The Anker Nano Car Charger (167.5W, 3 Ports) has one USB-A and two USB-C ports with a combined 167.5W power rating. This compact charger supports both Samsung and Apple fast-charging profiles. The first USB-C port supports 100W, while the second USB-C port is rated 45W. Lastly, the USB-A port supports up to 22.5W.

The Baseus Prime Trip VR2 Max 240W has two built-in, 105W, 31.5-inch retractable USB-C cables coming out the top, and one 33W USB-C and one 30W USB-A port in the base. That's nearly the same retail price as the Anker option, but features a significantly higher 240W output. The top of the charger rotates, supporting 450° multi-directional adjustment.

The UGREEN Nexode Car Charger 145W is one of the cheapest chargers in this category. It has four ports, though only one has a built-in, retractable USB-C cable rated 60W. The second Type-C port delivers 100W, and the third delivers 30W. The USB-A port supports 30W charging.
