We have started to spend so much of our time in the car, that it's just becoming inconvenient without a charger in the interior of the car. This cigarette lighter charger is different from others in that it not only allows you to plug a cable into the socket, but it itself has a cable that plugs into your phone. So you will no longer need a separate wire to charge your gadget. The charger has a light indicator light and an additional USB connector. There are micro USB, Lightning and type C to select from, so pick the connector you want.
