Which in car charger should I get for my Pixel? Does USB-C solve previous car charging issues?

I am pre-ordering the Pixel.

In the past I have used a 2.4A Aukey USB charger for my Windows Phones with limited success. They seem to drain faster than they charge when using Bluetooth music streaming and navigation. Especially in traffic when the engine is not turning at constant high rpm, causing the alternator to generate less charge.

With my first ever switch to Android and USB-C, I am hoping this problem can be avoided as I travel quite a lot and depend on GPS and Bluetooth pairing to my car for hands-free calls and music.

I am currently looking at a Belkin 27W charger:

Opinions and alternatives welcome... also what are your experiences with USB-C in car? Does it have the same issues as described?

I would recommend the Aukey car charger I've listed below.

I'm a big fan of both Aukey and Anker. It works great for me and it definitely seems to keep up... No drain while using like you mentioned. Good luck!

OK thanks, that looks promising.

I have also been looking at Tim Benson's reviews concerning the standards of these devices. There are a few Aukey and Anker products that don't meet the specification. In fact, one of the Anker devices won't charge the Nexus 5X or 6P.

That reason combined with the fact that a different Belkin device is listed on Google Play makes me think the Belkin may perform better.

Those are my thoughts for now, still have some more research to do. I'm not happy with my current Aukey device which claimed many things but often stops charging my devices for some reason.

I think the best one is by far the on by Tronsmart. I have one in my car and it's great! just look it up in ebay.
