The Anker Roav Bolt Car Charger delivers reliable, no-nonsense charging performance for everyday drivers who need a trustworthy dual-port solution without unnecessary bells and whistles.
In-depth review
The Anker Roav Bolt Car Charger is a compact, no-frills accessory designed for drivers who need dependable power on the go without bulky attachments cluttering their dashboard. Slightly larger than a standard car charger, it plugs directly into the 12V socket and offers dual USB ports for charging phones, tablets, or other small electronics simultaneously. Its understated black design blends seamlessly into any vehicle interior, and the sturdy plastic housing feels durable enough for daily wear and tear.
What sets the Roav Bolt apart is Anker's PowerIQ technology, which automatically detects the connected device and delivers the optimal charging speed, eliminating the guesswork of matching cables to ports. Whether you are charging an older phone or a newer fast-charging capable device, the Bolt adjusts output accordingly, ensuring efficient power delivery every time. This makes it a versatile choice for families or multiple drivers sharing the same vehicle.
Beyond charging speed, the Roav Bolt includes built-in safeguards like surge protection and temperature control, giving users peace of mind that their devices are shielded from electrical damage during use. Its compact size means it will not obstruct gear shifters or block other accessories plugged into nearby ports, making it an unobtrusive yet essential addition to any car's electronics setup.

What owners say
Simple and effective
I've used cheaper chargers before that either overheated or charged too slowly. This one just works every time, and the dual ports mean my wife and I can both charge on road trips.
Solid but basic
Does exactly what it says, no fancy features. Wish it had USB-C for faster charging, but for the price it's a great value.
Fits perfectly
Low profile design means it doesn't stick out awkwardly like my old charger. Charges my phone quickly enough for daily commutes.
Great backup charger
Keep this one in my glovebox as a backup. Reliable, small, and never gets too hot even during long summer drives.
