I did not buy this fast charger separately.
But as it is included with the Google Pixel Stand I bought and I also use it occasionally for wired charging, I'm publishing my experiences with it in this separate article.

The battery of a Pixel Pro model is charged to 50% in 30 minutes.

Thanks to state-of-the-art charging electronics, the device to be charged and the charger automatically negotiate the best charging mode with each other.
Pros
- very good build quality
Cons
- Power charger chirps quietly during fast charging

Ideal if you do not yet have a modern fast charger or a current computer with USB-C as a charging option.
