While preparing to move to another city, I recently came across my very first car charger. It was the size of a brick, about as heavy, and in the middle of it was a fuse. With it, me and my ’98 Malibu were unstoppable – unless, of course, the fuse blew.
So it is with amazement and amusement I write about a product that claims to be the world’s smallest and most powerful car charger. The reVOLT and reVOLT Dual by SCOSCHE offers 12 watts of power sitting flush in your car’s power socket.

The reVOLT can charge iPhones and iPads very quickly and SCOSCHE also offers a line of charge and sync cables for Lightning USB devices.
The USB port – the reVOLT Dual has two – lights up for easy plug-in at night. The chargers come with face plates in gold, silver, gray and black. The single reVOLT runs $14.99 and the dual costs $24.99 on the SCOSCHE website.
The charging circuitry is designed specifically for iOS devices, but could work with other smartphones and tablets, though those devices may not charge as quickly, according to the company.
SOSCHE was founded in 1980 as a producer of car audio hardware. While the motorist its still a part of the mission, the company has moved on to other lifestyle technology, like armband heart rate monitors, waterproof Bluetooth speakers, tech accessories for cycling and wireless earbuds.
