No trip to the supermarket is complete without a confused lap around the parking lot with a cartful of groceries, desperately trying to remember where you’ve parked your car. While the optimist in us might view this forgetfulness as a great way to get in some exercise, the more pervasive realist is probably sick of this routine. So friends, search no longer — instead, get Zus, the smart car charger and locator that claims to “find your car where you left it and charge your phone twice as fast.”

Zus Smart Car Charger Helps You Find Your Car

Currently selling for just $29.99 (40 percent off its normal price of $50), the pocket-sized gadget can charge any device at any time by way of its ultra-fast USB, which claims to get you (or your phone, at least) back to 100 percent at double the normal speed. And because it’s coated with military-grade titanium, your Zus is as sturdy and durable as they come. And with its built-in lighting and cooling system, you won’t have to worry about burning yourself, unlike other car chargers that emit crazy amounts of heat or get really hot when you leave them out on a sunny day.

But the real kicker, of course, is its ability to find your car. By way of the companion iOS or Android app, Zus keeps constant tabs on where you last left your vehicle, and can guide you back to it whenever you need. Whenever you turn off your car, a GPS tag is sent to the Zus app, which means that your phone can guide you, step by step, to your parking space when you’ve finished running your errands. And once you’ve made it back into your car, you can recharge your phone, ensuring that you’ll never meander aimlessly with a battery-less phone ever again.

Weighing in at just around 4 ounces and made in Germany, Zus might be the last smart accessory you’ll ever need.

The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
