Top 10 Power Stations for Cars
for June 2023

If you're tired of paying exorbitant prices for gas at the pump, consider investing in a power station for your car. A power station is a device that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter and charges your phone or tablet. There are a variety of power stations on the market, from portable power stations that charge your phone or device on-the-go to larger power stations that charge multiple devices at once.

In the Different Guide , we test power stations for performance, including how long it takes to charge your devices, voltage output, and wattage. We also evaluate ease of setup and ease of use, including how easy it is to set up, connect, and charge your devices. We also look at safety features, including whether or not it can shut off automatically, if it has a fuse, and if it overheats.

These are the best power stations you can buy for your car in 2022, according to testing and popular reviews:
