MacBook and iPad Car Chargers and Other Cool Apple Accessories
A lot of professionals work on the go – between meetings, hotel lobbies, clients’ reception areas etc. The batteries of laptops often get drained before the work is done. Probably 90% of the users of Apple laptops (MacBook Pro, MacBook Air) don’t know that there are car chargers for their MacBooks. The chargers could also be used to charge iPhones and iPads as well as Android devices. They are very portable and hence easy to carry around.
If you are planning to get a MacBook Car Charger, here are few options to choose from:

- Mikegyver High-Speed-USB-C Charger for MacBook Pro
The Apple 2018 MacBook Pro with the USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port can charge at high speed in a vehicle with simple adapter – that’s because the USB-C specification allows for power delivery of up to 90 watts. Most USB-C chargers are poor performers, they have problems such as low-power charging, heat problems and sometimes noise/buzzing but the Mikegyver USB-C power adapter takes its power from the 12V (to 24V) DC vehicle cigarette lighter socket, charging the MacBook Pro via a standard USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 cable and making it better than other USB-C chargers.
