Has anyone found car chargers that you would recommend? I ordered one from amazon that said it is compatible with Pixel 4a, although it does not activate rapid charging, so its going back.
My Ideal car charger would be: High quality PD rapid charge with USB-C coiled cord attached and extra USB-A port.

Bought this one a year ago for my 3a, still working great. Works fine on 4a also.
Also this one.

I bought this one last month for my car. You need to make sure when buying that they support PD. This one rapid charged both my 3a and the 4a. Luckily for me I have both power adapters from the 3a and 4a so one stays in my 'go bag'.

I also bought this set of cables which supports PD. Good cables.

Some years back I grabbed this Nekteck for my Pixel XL, and it has worked flawlessly in a variety of vehicles:

They now also make one with a removable cord:

This works great with my 2xl should be good for my 4a in 13 days.

I've always had a good experience with Anker products. This one checks 2 of your 3 requirements.

Or, since the 4a will only draw 18w max, save a few bucks and go with this one:

Just looking for a longer cord. What's odd is my OnePlus 5t charger or usb-c cord do not charge my 4a. Nor does my usb-c cord with the 4a c-adaptor on one end work with the 4a charger.

Here is the detailed testing review information http://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower Blitzwold USC-C car charger BW-C3 UK.html
Here you can find more detailed testing reviews on other usb devices http://www.lygte-info.dk/info/indexUSB UK.html OR http://lygte-info.dk/info/ChargerIndex UK.html
UPDATE 11/23/2016, mentioned this charger to Nathan K, and he linked me a review done by HKJ http://budgetlightforum.com/node/45176.
COMMENTS: "He felt it was "a bit too powerful". Translation (and my opinion): it lacks overload protection safeties, avoid.
"No individual port overload protection."
UPDATE 11/15/2016: I tested with my Pixel XL and it handles 1400-1450mA in port (A) using stock a-c cable and 1450-1530mA in port (c) cabled usb-c..
UPDATE 11/12/2016; This morning I plugged in at 66% on phone, ampere showed the charger feeding 2400mA. This is as fast as my zerolemon QC wall charger on my lg g4.

FIY: I don't think this is capable of charging the Pixel at 18w max, but it should be able to do it safely at 15w (5v 3A). It supposedly can't handle max charging two devices either. It has a permanently attached USB C cable and a USB A slot.

Be careful what accessories, cables you use, including major manufacturer name brands.
This charger is actually awesome. been using it for a year with my nexus 6p and now my pixel, it will only do 15w
Yeah it's still on sale too!
So this is legit safe? because I see all over the place everyone is 'freaking out' about the usb cables I swear when it was just micro usb cables no one cared, but now with this USB C everyone cares all of a sudden?

It's only 5v 3A 15w max unless it's defective, it doesnt go any higher than the max a pixel can handle. Like the 9v/3A 12v 15v 20v...

Its because there were several reports with the nexus 6p usb c ports burning up and lots of micro usb to usb c adapters melting, but mostly when the cable was wiggled or phone fell while plugged in.
I think Benson Leung's Pixel fried testing correct if im wrong?

Let us know how it works for you
Personally tested this charger does not back charge my car when off like some of the tested/ recommended car chargers have been found to do, including Belkin, tronsmart and visnic.
I bought one of these Aukey units but haven't tried with Ampere. <Tested: it delivers 2000ma from both ports to the pixel. Stock wall charger delivers 3000ma.> I've used it with the Pixel, Nexus 5X, LG G4 and Droid Maxx. All of them charge fast. Even the MAXX which isn't a Quickcharge phone charges quite quickly. It has a Fast charge port and a Quickcharge 3.0 port that is backward compatible. All these phones have roughly 3Ah batteries. The Pixel and 5X are type C. The G4 has Quickcharge 2.0 hardware but I don't know if the firmware was ever updated to accept more than Quickcharge 1.0.
https://www.amazon.com/Aukey-CC-T7-...838012&sr=8-2&keywords=aukey+quick+charge+3.0
Anyway, seems quality and beats all the typical 250ma car chargers that can't even keep up with google maps usage.
bump still working great and still on sale $5 shipped.
I wish I had any idea how to determine if a charger was "safe" without just looking at a list of approved chargers
Are there any aftermarket chargers that will work like the oem Motorola Turbopower chargers?
Pretty much any USB-C charger will work. I've used an old USB power brick with a USB-B -> USB-C cable, I've used my Acer R13's USB-C 45W power brick, and I've used my Choetech 55W 6-port charging station with a USB-C -> USB-C cable. They all work.
If you're looking for something that works with the X4's Turbopower, that's basically just Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 under a different name. My charging station is QC 3.0, which works with QC 2.0 devices, which works with this Moto X4. It charges quite fast.

Think our X4 needs QC3.0 for turbo charging. I have several QC2.0 chargers left over from my last phone and they do not charge this device at full speed. Also I'm pretty sure the original Motorola charger that came with it is QC3.0 according to what I've seen. But I've just ordered my first after-market charger (a RAVPower car charger, model VC007003) and can report back when it arrives later this week.
Looks like QC3.0 is the ticket
Here are screenshots of the charging rates using both my old QC2.0 and new QC3.0 chargers. The new one activates the "TurboPower connected" toast message, which the old one did not, and charges at a much faster rate. Gonna check out some QC3.0 wall chargers in the near future now.
Yes.
Anything from Qualcomm's certified list.
The original charger is 5V, 3A (15 Watt). However, most Qualcomm QC 2.0 chargers from 1 or 2 years ago ran at 12V, not 5V for fast charging so they don't support the combination of 5V 3A. It's the same thing that happened with the Nexus 5X which technically didn't have Qualcomm QC either, despite having a Qualcomm CPU. Forget the branding on the charger since it is too unreliable, and just find yourself something that can support 5V, 3A.
Wireless charging station for Moto x4?
Anyone know of a wireless charging station that works on the Moto X4? Got my x4 from Project Fi back in October and now it won't charge with a standard usb c cable. The phone and usb plug gets hot.
I'm using Pleson Fast Charge stand and CHGeek Wireless Charging Patch. The charging patch is kind of unsightly but I don't care, it charges "Turbo" fast.
Uhmmm

That may explain why my Nexus 5x charger can't charge this Moto x 4 (it takes forever to complete a charge) but technically it still works
I've gotten turbo speeds from several different Quickcharge3 chargers from Anker. As a side benefit, they also do a good job charging my wife's iPhone.
For me this cable and this wall adapter do the trick just fine.
I've been using Anker products without problems with my Samsung phones, and I'm wondering if they, or another brand, are recommended for use with OnePlus phones. Any feedback is welcome.

my spare/extra charger is my axon 7 (sd820 ver of qc) charger and an anker cable. their cables are great. also, they have a two year warranty iirc. ive been happy with all 5 various cables i have bought from them.
Any charger will work but not as Fast like OnePlus. I have 1 charger, 2 cables (1 is plug in charger, 1 in my laptop). I buy from China big stores (cheeper)& from my country forums for sales (fast receive).
iMangoo OnePlus 6T Dash Charging Charger US Plug
The iMangoo OnePlus 6T Dash Charging Charger US Plug gets 2700-3000 / 3400 mA at half the price of the official dash charger and cable. The cable is braided and folds easily. I rather have 2 of these ($18.19 per) for the same price as the official with a loss of 400-700 mA when below 70% full.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DZLM1FC
The AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-A Male 3.1 Gen2 Adapter Charger Cable using the iMangoo charger gets the same speed. This cable is not as flexible, but works great at a permanent computer desk for fast file transfer. $7 open boxed.

I am surprised to see that I need an original onplus cable to enjoy dash charging, the one that came with my op6t is the usual 1m which is short for my installation. The electricity socket being far from my desk I need a 2 meters cable like the one I always used but dash compatible. Where can I find one?
I just bought the following cable and Dash Charge works perfectly: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07LBR54RD/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_XO8nCbB02GB5G

Long USB Cable that works with Dash Charging?
Greetings All,
Can anyone recommend a long usb cable, at least 2m, that works with Dash charging?
Thanks
Been using these forever now, 6ft nylon braided and it DOES support dash chsrge. Phone makes noise and lightning bolt flashes when plugged in.

The 2m cable that I bought last year for the 6t is starting to go wacko, it will show warp on my 7 pro but it won't charge in warp speed, I bought the one in the last link, I will see if it will charge as fast as stock cable
Picked up one of the new 7t pro McLaren and I'm looking for a second charger.... Any recommendations? I see the warp one on the OnePlus site but 50 for a charger seems a little steep.
I'm looking for one myself. Also make sure to get a right cable. Seems it has to be special one for the warp charge to work

Why don't you order warp charger with cable from AliExpress? It doesn't cost much there. I have one for my car and it works well
I noticed the Amazon link wasn't working for the magnetic cables. Use these warp charging cables instead. Actually they are of higher quality in my opinion and they definitely work as well.

are there any 3rd party chargers that charge at warp speed? kind of looking at 60w or above chargers or even 100w stuff ? also are there any other places to get a magnetic cable that support 100w or more and supports warp speed?
