SUPERONE Retractable Car Charger: 6-Port, Ultra-Compact with USB-C & Apple Cable
Product description
What it is
The SUPERONE Retractable Car Charger is a compact 6-port car charger designed to power multiple devices at once. With a total output of 105W, it combines two retractable cables (36W PD USB-C and 12W USB Apple) and four additional ports (15W USB-C x3 and 12W USB-A). The included long retractable cable helps keep your cabin tidy, making it a practical companion for long journeys.
How it fits in the car
Designed for 12V cigarette lighter sockets, this charger is meant to sit neatly in tight spaces, including trucks and older vehicles. Its plug can adjust 180° to better align with different car interiors, and a military-grade dual-lock design aims to maintain stable power delivery even on bumpy roads. The charger is certified by UL, CE, FCC and RoHS for safety and durability.
What it can charge
The device supports multiple fast-charging protocols, including PD, QC3.0, AFC, MTK and FCP. It’s configured to work with phones, tablets, smartwatches, and more, while the retractable USB-C and Apple cables provide flexible charging for various generations (from Phone 12 and newer to Phone 17/16/15/14/13/12 series). USB-C and USB-A ports extend compatibility to devices like iPads, AirPods and many Android devices.
What’s best about it
On paper, the main strength is the ability to charge up to six devices simultaneously without the need for multiple wall adaptors. The 105W total output and 31.5-inch retractable cable add versatility for shared usage in family cars or shared vehicles, offering a more consolidated charging solution in one unit.
Potential drawbacks
While the setup champions multi-device charging, not all features are universal. The note states it is designed for 12V sockets and is not compatible with CarPlay, Apple Play or AirPlay. This means it’s not suitable if you rely on those in-car systems for audio or navigation. The emphasis on speed is subject to device compatibility and cable length, and some users may find the 31.5-inch extendable cable longer than needed in smaller cars.
Who it’s for
If you frequently travel with multiple devices or share a car with family or colleagues, this charger offers a practical way to reduce cable clutter and keep devices powered. It’s particularly handy for long trips, where a single hub can charge phones, tablets, and wearables at once without swapping adaptors.
Who it isn’t ideal for
If your in-car setup relies on CarPlay/Apple Play or AirPlay, you’ll want to consider alternatives since this model isn’t compatible with those systems. If you only need power for a single device, the multi-port nature may be more than you require and could feel overkill.
When it makes sense to buy
Consider this charger when you value a single solution for multiple devices, enjoy the convenience of retractable cables that reduce tangles, and prioritise a compact footprint in vehicles with tight spaces. The 105W output is helpful if one or more devices support fast charging and you want to keep others charged concurrently.
What to check before buying
- Ensure your vehicle’s 12V socket is compatible and can accommodate the unit’s form factor.
- Review whether your devices support the charging protocols (PD, QC3.0, AFC, MTK, FCP) to maximise speed.
- Note the lack of CarPlay/Apple Play compatibility if that matters to your use case.
- Confirm your preference for a retractable cable length and the overall cable management in your car.
Practical example in use
Imagine a family road trip: two smartphones, a tablet for in-car entertainment, and a smartwatch all charging at once while a kid uses a portable game console. The retractable USB-C and Apple cables provide quick access without a tangle of cords, and the car remains reasonably tidy even after hours on the road.
Decision and final thoughts
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you need to power multiple devices on the move and value an organised, space-saving setup. It may not be the best option if you rely on CarPlay/Apple Play, but for broad compatibility and a single charging hub, it offers clear practicality for trips or shared vehicles.
