What car charger are you using (if ever) right now?
Is it iPad-specific? Or is just your iPhone/iTouch car charger?
Any good deals around for nice quality ones?

i have a power inverter that I can plug into my 12V outlets and get low amperage 120VAC + USB ports. So I can charge using my iPad charger, or at least use the USB plug to maintain the charge.

I found a cheap iPhone car charger at Staples and I'm using that.

Use Apple iPad Car Charger. It is plugged into the cigarette lighter port for its power supply in your car. Even if you use this car charger for a long time, its cable can retain its original shape after long period of use. With it, your Apple iPhone 3G will be supplied with power as it charges the battery at the same time.

Unless you know something I don't, I believe there is no official (OEM) Apple Ipad Car Charger yet.

They do have the Kensington, Griffin, and Incase brand car chargers for the iPad though.

I used to have that Griffin you posted above, which works very well - it has the 2.1 Amps needed to charge the iPad, as long as you're using the 2 Amp USB cable that it comes with. I ended up upgrading to a Kensington Duo though, so I could charge both my iPad and my iPhone together without 'splitting' the charging power (it has 2.1 amps for iPad and 1 amp for iPhone). It's super cheap too ($8.49 on sale at Amazon).

I just ordered two of [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K39224US-PowerBolt-Charger-including/dp/B003GSL6UG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1292357129&sr=8-1"]these[/ame], one for each of our cars. My wife often runs out of juice for her iPod, so this will take care of that problem as well as having the 2 amps for the iPad.

I have kensington K39224US power bolt.Quality is most important thing in this regard.Detachable USB cable lets you charge and sync your iPad.The most important thing is that Ultra-small size.
