Read in another post here about someone saying you don't need a regular car charger anymore since most lat-model cars now have a USB port and you can use that. Mine has it and I'm sure most cars I rent when I'm out of town do so as well (one less cable to carry around).

I know charging is slower when plugged in to a computer but is it any different using the car's USB port instead of a car charger?

Depends on the output....Voltage is all the same for USB but the amperage can vary and that impacts rate.

I was thinking the same thing. I just bought a car, and I stole my gf's cigarrete car charger, but my car also has a USB connection, and while it does charge, i'm not sure about the rates and as well, using the USB, my phone keeps trying to install BB Link into my car lmao
