The 2 Best Wireless Charging Phone Mounts for Cars 2026
Top pick
This model delivered some of the quickest charging speeds and produced top results for stability in our tests, and it makes mounting and unmounting your phone easy.
This is the sturdiest vent-mounted model we tested, with fast charging speeds, a firm grip, and a quick way to attach and remove your phone.
The iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless 2 offers the best combination of fast charging speeds, ease of use, and sturdy, reliable mounting for the widest variety of phones. Available in either a dash-mounted version or an interchangeable vent- or CD-slot-mounted base, it consistently provided some of the quickest charging rates in our tests and proved to be the most stable and adjustable model overall.
It’s WPC-certified. With a certification from the WPC, you can rest assured that the iOttie charging mount meets all standards for safety, compliance, and more.
It charges a phone relatively quickly. Rated for wireless charging at up to 10 W, this model charged a drained iPhone 13 battery to an average of 24% in half an hour and 46% in an hour in our testing.
It comes with useful accessories. This iOttie model includes a 12-volt car charger with an attached Micro-USB adapter, plus an extra USB port that you can use to charge a second device.
It holds your phone steady. In our testing, this mount kept phones of various shapes and sizes (and with different phone cases) firmly in place, even when we went over bumpy cobblestones. To use it, simply squeeze the two levers on the sides until the tension arms extend to their widest point. When you place your phone between them, the arms automatically snap into place.
A third arm offers extra support for the underside of the phone, and a knob on the back of the mount lets you adjust the height of that arm to better align your phone with the wireless-charging mechanism. Also, the Micro-USB input is cleverly positioned on the back of the mount — instead of on the bottom, as on most other models we tested — which makes it easier to tuck away the cable so that it doesn’t drape distractingly over your dashboard.
It stays securely on your dashboard, air vent, or CD slot. The suction cup on the dash-mounted iOttie model stubbornly stuck to every surface we tested it with, so you won’t need to worry about its flying out the window when you hit a pothole.
The dashboard-mounted version has a 4-inch neck that can extend out to 8 inches if you sit farther back or have a car with a deep, sloping windshield. Both the base and the phone attachment can rotate 360 degrees, and the extendable neck can rotate in an arc of 270 degrees, offering a wide range of options for setup and positioning.
The other version doesn’t have an extendable neck, but it compensates for that by giving you the choice of two easily adjustable mounting options — attaching to either an air vent or a CD slot — that you can interchange with a simple ball-and-socket joint. In vent-mount mode, it has a rubber-padded clamp that squeezes snugly onto most vent slats, and an additional screw-on nut lets you tighten or loosen that clamp to fit your vehicle. The CD-slot configuration has a flat prong that you can slide into the CD slot (much as you would an actual CD) until it locks into place.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Its arm closure trigger can be finicky. On both configurations of this mount, the trigger to activate the arm closure is smaller than on previous versions. This is largely a good thing, as the trigger is now harder to hit accidentally. But it sometimes means that the arms don’t close when you want or expect them to, especially if you have a softer or shock-absorbent phone case.
Its extendable plastic neck can wobble at times. The dash-mounted iOttie model suffers from the same instability issues that plague every phone-mount base we’ve tested with an extendable neck — the longer it extends, the more the plastic tends to wobble. We found this to be especially true when we used it with bigger phones or drove over rough terrain.
We wish it included more USB outputs. The included charger has only one USB output, and the attached Micro-USB cable is also limited in that there’s only so far it can stretch. These limitations shouldn’t be a problem in most cars, but if you find that they are — or if you simply want more USB flexibility while you drive — you might want to buy a separate USB car charger.
