Aukey 36W PD charger
Aukey's 36W charger comes recommended by our own Derek Kessler, and that's because it'll fast charge your iPhone 8 or X without problem. It features one USB-C port and a USB-A port for any other devices you have that need charging.
Aukey's charger also features safeguards, like surge protection and overvoltage protection so that you don't accidentally fry your device. At $17, it's a great deal and an awesome charger for your iPhone X or 8.
Anker 54W PowerDrive+ 4
Anker makes some of the best charging products in the world, so it's not surprise that its PowerDrive+ 4 charger makes it on this list. Now, the iPhone 8 and X can't take advantage of anything more than 30W, so 54W may be overkill, but this'll fast charge your device without a problem.
With the PowerDrive+ 4, you'll be able to charge up to four devices at once, since it has three USB-A ports and one USB-C. Though the listing says that it does not fast charge iPhone 8 and X, it's referring to its USB-A port. You'll get the full power of USB-C out of this one.
Anker offers an 18-month warranty should anything be defective. Its LED ring is also handy when you're driving in the dark. Check it out at Amazon for about $30.
BC Master 34.5W charger
BC Master's charger is relatively inconspicuous, with a slimmer design (just over an inch wide). This one features on USB-C port and a USB-A port and can fast charge your iPhone 8 or X via the USB-C port.
This one's only $14 and comes with other product discounts on Amazon.
RAVPower charger
RAVPower makes a great portable battery bank, and its USB-C car charger is no slouch either. It features one USB-C port and a "smart" USB-A port that can detect the charging needs of whatever device you plug in.
RAVPower's products are made to be durable and long-lasting, which is why the company includes a 30-month warranty (when you register the product) should anything go wrong. It has a full aluminium alloy casing and at $10, it's a steal of a deal.
Sngg PD car charger
Sngg's PD car charger is a stylish option, with a gold and white finish and a cool blue LED that indicates charging. It has a USB-C port and a 2.4A USB-A port, so it can help fast charge your iPhone X while you drive. The included USB-C cable is braided nylon, so it won't tangle, and it should last longer than traditional rubber cables.
Check this charger out for about $12 at Amazon.
Meagoes PD car charger
Meagoes has a number of color options to choose from if you want your car charger to match your style, and you can snag it for about $14. It features a PD USB-C port and a Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A port.
It has a pretty small footprint, so it shouldn't crowd your console, and it has an LED charging indicator, so you can find it in the dark.
