- You can always install a lighter socket that isn't powered off with the rest of the equipment, and plug a USB charger into that when needed.
If you want to avoid wiring....
- Some newer chargers can put out more than the old standard 1 Amp. Higher current can charge your devices faster while you drive, providing that your devices can handle it. Some newer phones charge in under an hour like this, at 2+ Amps.
More info at this site.
- You could get a
solar USB charger and toss it on your dash or wherever the sun's coming in. You can see by the reviews in the linked site that there are some very good ones out there.
And then there are battery options - multiple charging so you're always loading up another battery.
- You could get a second battery for your phone and charge it separately while driving. (If your phone allows you to swap batteries.)
- You can get one of the
portable "battery chargers" that is actually a battery itself. Many of these carry enough power to recharge a phone more than once.
- Some cell phones can have an extra battery snapped to them. Either it's
built in by the manufacturer, or by a company that makes a
case designed to support it.
