USB Car Charger

Road-tripping with friends is a rite of passage for many, and a lifelong adventure option for the seasoned traveler. But aside from bad taste in music, few things will disrupt the harmony of the ride more than someone hogging the only available outlet for charging up your devices.

The Urge Basics 4-Port USB-C Car Charger will put an end to the single-slot tug of war, allowing you to charge three phones and a laptop at blazing speeds.

Four charging ports, USB-C capability and a built-in OHC Chip, the latest and greatest offering from Urge Basics not only keeps your devices juiced, but protects them from overcharging or overheating as well. Don’t settle for a gas station charger that can stop working before you leave the parking lot or, worse yet, fry your device.

With free shipping to the Continental US, your Urge Basics 4-Port USB-C car charger is ready for the taking at $19.99 from TNW Deals.
