Baseus’s 164W retractable car charger is on sale for $36 right now, which is 28 percent under its $50 MSRP. It’s not a huge price to begin with, and at $36, it’s an easy upgrade over the tangle of loose cables most cars end up with.
There are quite a few reasons why you’ll want this charger over other car chargers. First of all, it comes with not one, but two retractable USB-C cables, which is amazing because that allows you and your passenger to recharge devices. With magnetic storage that snaps them into place, they’re super easy to handle without risking taking your eyes off the road. Both cables have a total length of 31.5 inches and have been “tested to endure over 10,000 smooth pulls and retractions,” and the whole thing rotates vertically and horizontally to limit any snags or tangles.
Second of all, this may be a car charger, but it can push quite a bit of power. The primary USB-C port pushes a full 67W, which is enough to fast-charge your MacBook Air, not just top off a phone. So if you work from the road or need your device ready before you reach your destination, this can actually make it happen.
On top of the two built-in cables, there are also two extra ports, one USB-C and one USB-A. When all four are in use, one cable will retain that 67W power, while the second will be limited to 33W. The C-port also caps at 33W, and the USB-A goes as high as 30W. In total, you have 163W of power, which is more than most wall chargers we have at home.
At $36, this Baseus car charger is an easy pick if you’re tired of loose cables in the car and want one gadget that can even fast-charge your laptop.
