Ever need to charge multiple Apple devices while in your car? Then Scosche’s reasonably priced (US$29.99) PowerVolt 100 is for you.
It’s a six-port USB-C and USB-A car charger with 100W total power and is capable of simultaneously charging up to six gadgets simultaneously. One USB-C port has 30W of dedicated charging, another has up to 20W, and the USB-A port has up to 18W. When the USB-C 20W and USB-A 18W ports are used at once, they’ll offer up to 15W of shared power. The PowerVolt 100 works with iPhones, iPads, Mac laptops, and more.
Each of the two 50W charging hubs (front and back) offer two Power Delivery USB-C ports for Fast Charging, and one USB-A port. Smart IC technology conveniently communicates with each connected device to provide optimum charging rates.
If you’re not familiar with it, Fast Charging is a technology that allows devices to charge faster than standard charging methods. It uses higher power levels, advanced algorithms, and sometimes specialized cables or connectors to move electrical energy from the power source to the device’s battery. It’s usually considered Fast Charging when the speed is 50 kW or more.
The PowerVolt 100 comes with a five-foot connected cable, so it can be used by folks in the back seat of your car. It sports a clip for securing securing the charging extension.
