Can you charge your phone in the car?

[Declan]

Of course you can, but you need to use a car charger. Many cars come with USB ports that, in addition to importing and exporting data, can also charge your phone. A car charger can also be referred to as a cigarette lighter adapter. The standard vehicle voltage is typically 12V, which the car charger converts to 5V (the compatible voltage standard), while also adapting the current to standards ranging from 1A to 2.4A. Here is additional information: The hazards of charging your phone in the car: According to data from an environmental protection agency, in the U.S., charging one phone in each car annually produces an additional amount of nitrogen dioxide equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions from 185,257 passenger vehicles and the pollution from burning 945 million pounds of coal.
