TLDR: I recommend this charger if you have other USB Type-C devices that require power delivery to charge, such as the new MacBook. It works great with the Nexus 6P, but is much more powerful than needed.
The stock Nexus 6P charger is potentially dangerous, and I wanted to get a different charger for it to minimize risk (I just got motherboard with USB-C and I'm prone to stupid mistakes). I've had good luck with Anker products in the past, so I had high expectations for the PowerPort Speed 1.
It met all the expectations! The build quality is excellent, Anker finally got rid of their gross glossy finish and made it matte as it should be. The blue light on the front is also much nicer than their previous chargers with bright green lights. The blue glow is bright enough to see, but not bright enough to light up a room at night. It also doesn't suffer from the same issues that the stock charger has, the picture below shows it not giving any power to a USB-A charger I have with a bright light on the front.

I recommend it a lot, but it is fairly expensive. Here's a link to the Amazon page.

groove3x: How much time it needs to fully charge your device? Because I have quite bad experience with solar chargers. They need to be on direct sun (every cloud really lengthen charging time) and for example my Vox needed about 9 hours to charge.

I have a pretty standard micro USB cable in my car for charging my X. It gets crazy stiff in cold weather though. Does anyone know of any cables, or brands of cables, that stay a bit more flexible, especially in cold weather?
The cable that came with my 2013 Moto X was very flexible, and felt like it had a silicone jacket. The one that came with my 2014 moto X wasn't quite as nice. I don't know which one you will get if you order one off the motorola site, but it is worth a try.

I have bought the Nillikin direct from Nillikin, the case from aliexpress, and a Tronsmart Qualcom QC3.0 charger from Geekbuying
I have an imak crystal case from Ali express and the official mi tempered glass protector and got a aukey quick charge 3.0 charger from Amazon.de
I have been using One Plus 8 pro for nearly 2 years. Recently my charger has started acting weirdly. It took around 5 hours to get my phone charge from 25% to 70%. I have attached screenshot for attention. Even when I connect the charger, it shows Charging on home screen instead of Warp-Charging.
I am still using Original charger and cable to charge the phone.

Shine a light into the charging port, there might be some dust and lint build up inside.
Get a wooden toothpick, shave it thin with a sharp knife and try to fish out the stuff inside the port.
Do NOT under any circumstances use a metal tool for this.
Shorting the port can cause permanent damage to the phone. Always use non conductive material.
I get that kind of charging speed when I'm using a slow charger, and it's definitely not normal. Also, the 8 Pro comes with a Warp Charge 3T 30W charger. Using a newer charger like the one for the 8T or Nord with more power will not hurt the phone, but it won't charge any faster than 30W.
