Kikkerland Cactus Car Charger
This car charger from Kikkerland combines practical charging capability with a playful cactus design. Fitting any standard 12V lighter socket, it provides 3.1 Amps total output distributed across multiple USB ports, allowing you to charge several devices during journeys without draining your phone or tablet before arrival.
The charger handles up to three mobile devices simultaneously, or one tablet paired with one mobile device. The 3.1A output is shared across all connected devices, so charging speeds adjust based on what's plugged in and each device's power requirements. This makes it suitable for family road trips, work commutes with multiple devices, or situations where passengers need to charge phones, tablets, or other USB-powered electronics.
The cactus design, moulded from ABS plastic, adds visual interest to your vehicle interior whilst maintaining a compact footprint. At just 0.6cm thick, the charger sits flush in the lighter socket without protruding significantly or interfering with gear shifts, handbrakes, or other controls. The design is functional first - the novelty appearance doesn't compromise charging performance or socket fit.
Key features include:
- 3.1 Amp total output: Sufficient power for multiple devices, distributed across connected ports
- Multiple device charging: Handles 3 mobile devices or 1 tablet plus 1 mobile device simultaneously
- Universal socket fit: Works with any standard 12V car lighter socket found in most vehicles
- Multiple USB ports: Allows simultaneous charging of different devices without unplugging
- Compact design: 0.6cm thickness minimises protrusion from the socket
- ABS plastic housing: Durable construction designed to withstand vehicle interior temperatures
- Cactus styling: Adds personality to vehicle interior whilst maintaining full functionality
Suitable for daily commutes, long journeys, family trips, or work vehicles where multiple people need charging access. Keep devices topped up during navigation, music streaming, or extended drives where phone batteries would otherwise drain. The charger requires your existing USB charging cables - bring Lightning cables for Apple devices, USB-C or Micro-USB cables for Android and other electronics.
The shared amperage means charging speeds vary based on connected devices. Three phones will charge more slowly than a single phone, whilst a tablet and phone combination will draw power according to each device's requirements. This is standard behaviour for multi-port chargers and ensures safe, balanced charging across all ports.
What Customers Ask About the Kikkerland Cactus Car Charger
Does this support fast charging?
The 3.1 Amp total output provides standard charging speeds. This is not a dedicated fast-charging or quick-charge system. Charging speeds depend on the devices connected and how the 3.1A is distributed across ports.
Can I charge my tablet and phone at the same time?
Yes, the charger can handle 1 tablet and 1 mobile device simultaneously. The 3.1A output is shared between devices, so both will charge though potentially at slower speeds than if only one device were connected.
Do I need to bring my own charging cables?
Yes, the charger provides USB ports but does not include charging cables. Use your existing device charging cables - Lightning cables for Apple devices, USB-C or Micro-USB cables for Android and other devices.
Will this get hot during use?
Electronic chargers generate some heat during operation, which is normal. The ABS plastic housing is designed to dissipate heat safely. Avoid covering the charger whilst in use and ensure adequate ventilation around the lighter socket area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used it.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage this charger, we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos of the damage are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Why do my devices charge slower when multiple are connected?
The 3.1A total output is shared across all connected devices. When you plug in multiple devices, the available amperage divides between them, resulting in slower charging speeds compared to charging a single device. This is standard behaviour for multi-port chargers and ensures safe, balanced charging.
