This car charger will be very useful for individuals or families with multiple QC 2
This Anker PowerDrive+ 2 is the most powerful car charger I've seen thus far. It has 2 USB ports that support Quick Charge 2.0 so you can charge two QC 2.0 phones concurrently. Most car chargers either have 2 USB ports but neither of them are QC 2.0 compatible resulting in slower charge times, or there may be only one QC 2.0 port. This is a very unique car charger with two QC 2.0 ports.I tested this with 2 of my family's Samsung Note 4 phones. I enabled QC 2.0 on both Note 4 phones and saw that both phones increased about 35% battery in 20 min. That's as fast as the Samsung QC 2.0 charger at home. This car charger will be very useful for individuals or families with multiple QC 2.0 devices. The purpose of QC 2.0 is to quickly charge your devices in as little time as possible, and in most cases your car driving may not be long trips. Getting a quick and substantial battery boost in your 30 minute drives is great before you get to your next destination.Also tested this with my non QC 2.0 devices (iPhone 6, iPad Air, Samsung Galaxy S tablet) and they charged properly as well. So that's reassuring to know this charger can charge at fast QC 2.0 speeds if you need it to but is also fully compatible with regular USB charged devices that are not QC 2.0 enabled.The size is about the same length and slightly wider than the regular Anker PowerDrive car charger with 2 regular (non QC 2.0 ports). I've attached some photos for comparison. Obviously the QC 2.0 technology requires more circuitry, thus the slightly larger size. All of my QC 2.0 home chargers are slightly larger than non QC 2.0 chargers as well. The build is very well made and assembled and should last you a very long time.This is a great product, very powerful for two QC 2.0 devices, and is built by a reputable company in Anker.I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation, and I promised that my review is fair and honest

Super sturdy and reliable
Bought one of these back at the end of 2016, and it's still going strong after near constant use in a tractor trailer (almost 800K miles/1.28M kilometers). It fits snugly in the outlet and has a relatively low profile. There's a little blue light that shows it's getting power, but it's not bright enough to be annoying or distracting.

Anker products really are the best
Best charger for the car, I like that it has 2 spaces for charging so you can charge more than one device. It has lasted a long time, Ive ordered a few of these for family and my teens cars to so everyone has one. It's great to have in a pinch so you aren't left stranded with a dead phone.

UPDATED: Now works for faster charging with LG G3
UPDATED REVIEW:Anker contacted me to let me know that they had recently revised this product and asked if I would consider testing it out again. They sent me a new retail package of the USB charger at no cost.I am happy to report that this charger now works well with the LG G3. With my phone plugged in while driving, I ran the onscreen Waze GPS while playing an audiobook over bluetooth. After an hour drive, the battery charge increased from 50% to 60%. Considering the screen usage and wireless radios were constantly running it's nice to know I can still charge the battery.The charger itself is still not a low-profile device, so consider that depending on the location of your 12v car outlet. To me that is the only thing keeping it from being a 5-star item, though I don't know if it's possible to provide 1.5A power to two devices in a charger any smaller. I'm sure if it can be done, Anker will make it happy eventually.Once again, I rate Anker themselves 5 stars for the continued service and support.-----ORIGINAL REVIEW:Did not work for fast charging with my LG G3 Android phone. I tried 3 different Micro USB cables (including the stock one and another new model from Anker themselves) and could only get a 0.5A charge out of it. Even my old Griffin Powerjolt charger charges faster and that's a much lower profile device. I don't know if the issue is with the "IQ" technology or with my phone, but it didn't get me the 1.5A or 2A charging I was hoping for. With my phone on running GPS software in the car, the battery still drains slowly when plugged into this charger. Nice looking device but it just won't work for me.Anker support was very helpful in setting up a return and refund.
