I have two USB-C ports in the armrest of my car. One connects to Android Auto and charges my phone to full in about an hour. The other doesn't connect to Android Auto, and charges my phone to full in about six hours.
I've owned the car for three years, and didn't notice the charging difference until a few months ago.
- vinhboy 5y agoOh weird, I've never heard of this. On my Bolt, the UsbA has Android auto, but no UsbC for fast charging. I bought a UsbC cigarettes adapter which allows me to fast charge, but I lose Android auto. My solution: splice together a UsbA and UsbC cable, plug in both. Now I get both features.
- fanatic2pope 5y agoMy Pixel phone tells me the charging rate the lock screen when I plug it in (outside of the adaptive charging hours). There is a notice at the bottom that either says "charging slowly" or "charging quickly".
- tentacleuno 5y agoOr just "Charging", which IIRC happens when the device is plugged into a USB3-capable host?
- gnicholas 5y agoI had a similar experience with my car, which has 2x USB-A. The charge rate is so slow that if I'm using the phone for navigation, the battery will sometimes drain. It took me months to realize this! There is no excuse for such a low charge rate, considering the vehicle is a plug-in hybrid and has more than enough battery capacity to charge a phone!
