I can't seem to get a consensus from reading through the previous topics in this forum so I am gonna ask straight up.

What Car Charger and Cable Do I Need for Turbo Charging in my Car?

Now, maybe I have missed the answer so please forgive me if I have.

For me I like getting a 150 watt inverter off Amazon and then just buy an aukey dual USB quick charger. The inverter will be about $20 and the charger about $15 and now your car has AC for laptops etc, and you always have an AC phone quick charger where ever you travel.

To me it's better value than the expensive DC quick chargers

This one does pop up the turbo charging toast notification, and will also charge the battery mod. Haven't checked the output on it, but seems slightly slower than the included AC Turbo Charger.

This is the charger I use mostly. I also have several vehicles that needed to be set up and this was fairly cheap. I know there are several chargers that will charge even faster, but I had bought this one to use with a Turbo. This allowed me to use any of the SEVERAL micro usb cables around. Yes I know the turbo charging message doesnt pop up, but it charges very fast and keeps it charged while using maps/gps and even streaming music at the same time.

I do have a couple usb c chargers and the one verizon sells also. Just havent really needed them as this setup works well.

I bought this adapter for my Moto Droid Turbo 2, and it turbo charged that VERY WELL. I tried it with my new Z Force, both with a USB-C cable and with a USB-C adapter for the micro USB cable I used to turbo charge my Droid, and neither Turbo charged. Just a warning.

The Z Force does not use the Qualcomm quick charging technology that the Turbo and Turbos 2 used. It uses a USB C charging technology instead.

TurboPower charging on Motorola micro USB phones is Qualcomm Quick Charge.

TurboPower charging on Motorola USB Type-C phones needs minimum 15W (3A/5V) charging.
