Key Features
Dual-Port Fast Charging
This charger is equipped with two USB-A ports that provide a combined output of 24W, enabling simultaneous charging of two devices at high speeds. It delivers up to 2.4A per port when charging one device or intelligently shares power when both ports are in use, making it perfect for drivers needing to power a phone and another gadget like a tablet or another phone during travel.
PowerIQ Smart Charging Technology
Anker’s PowerIQ technology automatically identifies the connected device and supplies the fastest compatible charging current up to 2.4A per port. Paired with VoltageBoost, it ensures optimized performance across a broad range of smartphones and tablets, delivering reliable and efficient charging without relying on Qualcomm Quick Charge protocols.
Ultra-Compact Alloy Design
The charger features a premium aluminum alloy body that is exceptionally small and sits nearly flush with your car’s cigarette lighter socket. Its minimal footprint—no wider than a quarter—keeps the dashboard uncluttered, avoids blocking controls, and gives a sleek, high-end appearance that complements modern vehicle interiors.
Durable and Heat-Resistant Build
Constructed with scratch-resistant aluminum alloy and gold-plated internal circuitry, the charger resists wear, reduces heat generation, and maintains consistent efficiency over time. The sturdy materials and thoughtful design contribute to a longer lifespan and a premium metallic finish available in various colors.

FAQs
Does the PowerDrive 2 Alloy support Quick Charge or USB-C devices?
No, it does not support Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC 2.0 or higher) and it has only USB-A ports—no USB-C output. It uses Anker’s PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technology to deliver optimized fast charging up to 2.4A per port for most smartphones and tablets. For USB-C devices, you would need to use a USB-C to USB-A cable, but you won’t get the higher-wattage fast charging that modern USB-C PD chargers provide.
Can I charge two devices at full speed at the same time?
Yes, you can charge two devices simultaneously. The charger provides a total combined output of 24W (4.8A max). When charging one device, it can deliver up to 2.4A (12W). When both ports are in use, power is shared intelligently—typically allowing 2.4A to each device (or close to it depending on the gadgets), so two phones or a phone and a smaller tablet can charge at good speeds without significant slowdown.
How small is it really, and will it stick out a lot in my car?
It’s one of the most compact car chargers available—roughly the size of a quarter in diameter and about 4.4 cm (1.7 inches) long. The design is intentionally flush-fit or low-profile, meaning it protrudes very little from your car’s cigarette lighter socket (often less than 1 cm sticks out). This keeps your dashboard clean, avoids blocking nearby controls or vents, and makes it discreet and unobtrusive.
