What power adapter do you recommend for fast charging (specs and brands)? What about cables? I’ll need both USB-C to USB-C for home and USB-A to USB-C for car.

For the car I'd get the UGREEN 130W car charger. It can fast charge two iPhones at 27W via USB-C or 100W MBP 14" or MBA 15", 1 USB-C iPhone & other USB-A devices

Thanks. I am in the US. I’ll take a look at these.

Any recommendations on brands that are on Amazon? Like Anker?

For any brands look for ones that output

- 27-35W for fast charging iPhone
- 5-12W for slow charging iPhone

I tried Googling other brands like Anker, that I've been using for nearly a decade, and they're rather late to the USB-A & USB-C power outputs needed by Apple devices.

As of today UGREEN is 1st to market.

Thanks again. This is very helpful.

UGREEN's on Amazon.

Believe me when I say UGREEN's not my 1st choice as the brand's new to me.

I had difficulty finding any other brand that has as many USB-C & USB-A ports each with that high of a power output to fast charging simultaneously.

I have the following multiport chargers that fast charged a years ago but slow charge today's devices.

- Satechi 75W
- Anker 60W
- CHOETECH 55W
- AUKEY 49.5W
- Tronsmart Presto 10,400mAh

If I could get a great offer price for them I'd liquidate them all and replace with UGREENs.

If you are looking for a power bank check out the UGREEN 145W that can fast charge a 100W MBP 14" or MBA 15", iPhone & other devices.
