This device was packaged like other Anker Devices so if you’ve had anything from them before you know to expect easy and non-obtrusive packaging (sorry for the lack of pictures, I was excited to give it a go).

I’ve tried a few other Anker car chargers before this one, those being the PowerDrive 2 and the PowerDrive Speed+ Duo.
Compared to those two devices this one is of course significantly smaller, in fact I’m not so certain a device like this could get any smaller.
Compared to the other chargers I got to say that I love the metal body. The others use this glossy black plastic that scuffs up quickly but this one looks fantastic even after inserting and removing it quite a few times.

I’d say it performs like the PowerDrive 2. I had a Dash Cam and a Galaxy S10+ connected to this while driving and never ran into any issues.

I’d say it’s worth a buy if you’re looking for something slim that’s not going to take up a lot of space, I’d love to see a USB-PD version of this in the future if at all possible

Thanks for the info… perfect comparison picture. I gave my wife my old PowerDrive 2 when I upgraded to the Elite. This looks like a good leave in solution for when I have several gadgets in the car.
