Essential fast charging accessories for the OnePlus 12?

Question

Man I just picked up the OnePlus 12 in Flowy Emerald and I am absolutely obsessed with how fast this thing charges up. I came from an old iPhone 12 so being able to top off in like 30 minutes feels like magic to be honest. I want to make sure I have everything I need to keep that speed everywhere I go because once you taste 80W or 100W charging you literally cant go back to regular USB bricks.

I spent all last night looking at chargers on Amazon but I am getting so many mixed signals. I saw some people saying that even if a brick says 100W PD it wont actually charge the OnePlus at full speed because of the proprietary SuperVOOC tech? Like apparently it falls back to 18W or something slow if it isnt the right protocol. Then I saw the official 50W wireless stand which looks sick but some reviews say it gets really loud with the fan or that it doesnt work with certain cases and that has me second guessing things. I am kinda lost on whether I HAVE to stick with official OnePlus branded stuff or if there are actually reputable third party cables and bricks that wont throttle the speed down to like 15W.

Here is what I am looking for specifically:

A car charger that can actually handle the high speeds while I am running Google Maps and Spotify

A reliable desk setup for my office in Chicago (so US plugs)

A longer cable like 6ft or more because the red one in the box is way too short to reach my bed

My budget is around $100 for a couple of extra pieces

I also heard that Oppo accessories might work since they use the same tech? If anyone has tried those or found a specific brand of cables that actually triggers the ultra fast charging animation please let me know. I just dont want to buy a bunch of junk that ends up being slow as dirt for this specific phone...

> A longer cable like 6ft or more Unfortunately, generic long cables were not as good as expected because they lack the proprietary pins. I had issues until finding the <a href=" https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw= Oppo+SuperVOOC+10A+2m+Cable&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1311&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337998953&customid=22&toolid=10001&mkevt=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Oppo SuperVOOC 10A 2m Cable on Reddit.

Re: "> A longer cable like 6ft or more..."Unfortunately, finding a reliable long cable that actually hits 100W is a massive headache. Most of the stuff you see on Amazon claiming to be VOOC compatible is just cheap junk that barely hits 18W. I wasted so much money on those before giving up. It's really frustrating how picky this tech is. If you're trying to stay under that $100 budget, you gotta look at the sister brands. Here is what I did:Use the Oppo SuperVOOC 80W Power Adapter for your office. It is the exact same internals as the OnePlus brick but usually $15 cheaper on most sites.Grab the Oppo 80W SuperVOOC Car Charger. Generic PD chargers are useless for this phone and honestly made mine run way too hot while using GPS.Get the official OnePlus SUPERVOOC Type-C to Type-C Cable 200cm. Ngl, the third-party ones just arent safe for these high amps. It sucks being locked into their ecosystem, but standard PD is just way too slow for the OP12...

Re: "Re: "> A longer cable like 6ft or..." - " Unfortunately, Ive had issues with third-party accessories not being as good as expected. Some IIRC actually make the phone heat up way too much, which makes me worry about long-term reliability.

Someone told me generic 100W cables can be risky What kind of case are you using though? Word is the wireless stand is picky about thickness.
