Staff pick

You can't go wrong by going straight to the source for an 18W charger. Google offers its own 18W charge for purchase separately, but it also comes with the device, complete with a charging brick and USB-C-to-USB-C cable. Finished in white just like the original charger that comes in the box, it's great to keep around as a spare.

Extra outlet
