How to Charge a Phone in a Car?

Published in Car Phone Charging 1 min read

You can charge your phone in a car using a car charger plugged into the cigarette lighter socket.

Here's a breakdown of how to do it:

Using the Cigarette Lighter Socket

The most common method involves utilizing the car's cigarette lighter socket (also known as a 12V auxiliary power outlet).

  • Car Charger: You'll need a car charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. These chargers typically have one or more USB ports.
  • USB Cable: Use a USB cable compatible with your phone (e.g., USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB).
  • Plug-In: Insert the car charger into the cigarette lighter socket.
  • Connect: Connect your phone to the car charger using the USB cable.
  • Charging: Your phone should now start charging.

Important Note:

  • The reference mentions that your charger should provide at least 2A (amperes) of current for efficient charging. The cigarette lighter socket should be able to handle this.
