These days the new vehicles come with USB ports and even HDMI ports. Our minivan fits this profile. However, the USB port is inside the glove compartment, and in the back, very convenient, right? This Aukey USB car charger is a life saver for me to say the least. I have used other chargers in the past, but nothing compare to this three Port (36w/7.2A). Before, there always seemed to be a competition in our van on which device got to use the one or the two ports charges that we own. This problem is now history.
