I finally changed my car, the new one came with wireless charger.
Then i went for a ~40 mins drive, put my phone on the charger and it connected to car play. When i arrived, i picked up my phone and it was really hot, and charged just 7%.
The entire time the ac was in 21º. I was not using gps, just spotify via carplay. The wireless charging is really that useless?
I never had used wireless charging in this phone, its a normal 13.

- Foreign Object Detection: Detects metal objects and halts charging
- Overcharging Protection: Stops power flow when the phone is fully charged
- Short-Circuit Protection: Cuts off power in case of a circuit fault
- Magnetic Alignment: Ensures safe and secure placement of the phone
- Certified Power Output: Ensures safe, regulated power delivery

Do wireless car chargers drain the car battery?
A properly wired wireless car charger will not drain your car battery as long as it’s connected to a power source that turns off with the ignition. However, if the charger remains powered after the car is off, it can slowly drain the battery, especially if a phone is left on the charger for extended periods. To avoid battery drain, ensure the charger is only active when the car is running, or unplug it when not in use.
I recently changed from an iPhone XR to an iPhone 15 Plus. I have an official MagSafe case on it. I’d like to get a good wireless charger (not just holder) for my vehicle. I have a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan.
Can anyone recommend some good specific models (with a link would be nice) that would support the fast charging, fit in the vehicle, hold the phone strongly magnetically, and also possibly suggestions on where/how to mount it?
Also, are there specific things I should look for or be wary of?
If anyone has this vehicle, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of space, so I’d guess windshield, cigarette lighter, or vent are the only mounting options. I’d prefer not vents, as I’ve head poor things about them, but what are your thoughts and experiences? Maybe they’d be fine? Any serious suggestions welcome. I just want a good quality device, but there are so many options, it’s a bit overwhelming.
Thanks.
