CIO Co., Ltd. began pre-order sales of the "NovaWave Car Mount Built in Fan," an in-car wireless charging mount with a built-in cooling fan, on June 26, 2026, priced at 5,980 yen (tax included)[1]. It is the company's first in-car product, supporting Qi2.2 wireless charging at up to 25W, so you can charge simply by attaching a MagSafe-compatible smartphone to it. By tackling the heat generated during charging with a cooling fan, the product aims to deliver stable charging even inside a car, where heat tends to build up.
A Built-in Cooling Fan Stabilizes Charging Inside the Car
The biggest feature of this product is the cooling fan built into the wireless charging section[1]. Wireless charging inevitably generates heat by its very structure, and in places where temperatures rise easily, such as a car interior in summer, that heat can slow charging speeds or put a strain on the device. The NovaWave Car Mount starts the fan the moment charging begins, efficiently dissipating heat from both the smartphone and the unit itself to keep these heat issues in check[1].
The fan automatically adjusts its rotation speed in response to temperature changes[1]. It dissipates heat firmly only when needed and otherwise keeps its rotation low, maintaining an appropriate temperature while reducing unnecessary operation. The fan itself is designed to be quiet, so its operating noise is unlikely to be bothersome even while driving[1]. In-car wireless chargers have long had the weakness of generating heat despite their convenience, and this product confronts that weakness head-on by incorporating an active cooling mechanism.
Qi2.2 Support for Up to 25W Wireless Charging
Wireless charging supports the Qi2.2 standard and outputs up to 25W[1]. Qi2 is a standard defined by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the industry body for wireless charging, and is characterized by magnetic alignment based on Apple's MagSafe[2]. In 2025, the WPC released the "Qi2 25W" specification, which raised the supplied power from the previous 15W to 25W, and the NovaWave Car Mount is a product that follows this latest 25W support[2].
As a guide to charging speed, CIO states that when charging an iPhone 17 Pro from 0 percent battery for 60 minutes, conventional Qi 7.5W charging recovers about 17 percent, while Qi2.2 25W charging recovers about 33 percent[1]. Because charging starts simply by magnetically attaching a MagSafe-compatible smartphone, you can charge it easily while using navigation, music, or hands-free calls in the car[1]. Note that charging speed varies depending on the connected device and usage environment[1].
A Slide-Lock Design for Use Both in the Car and at Home
The NovaWave Car Mount adopts a slide-lock attachment structure[1]. Because only the wireless charging section can be quickly detached from the car mount portion, you can use it as a car mount when driving and take the charging section with you when you get out[1].
The detached wireless charging section is also useful at home. By connecting a USB-C cable, it can be used as a smartphone stand and wireless charger, letting you organize where your device sits and how it charges on a desk or at the bedside[1]. The fact that it is designed to be reused in various everyday situations, rather than being limited to in-car use, is likely to appeal to those who want to make long-term use of a single device. That said, it is worth keeping in mind that the product cannot charge on its own; a USB-C charger and a USB-C cable are required separately for use[1].
Price and Availability
The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 5,980 yen (tax included), available in two colors: black and white[1]. Pre-order sales began on June 26, 2026, and the product is handled at Amazon.co.jp, CIO's official online stores on Rakuten Ichiba, some consumer electronics retailers, and the CIO STORE company-owned shops[1].

Summary
The NovaWave Car Mount Built in Fan is CIO's first in-car product, combining Qi2.2 wireless charging at up to 25W with heat dissipation by a cooling fan. You can charge simply by placing a MagSafe-compatible smartphone on it, and thanks to the slide-lock design, you can use it as a car mount in the vehicle and as a smartphone stand and wireless charger at home. For anyone who wants to stabilize in-car wireless charging—prone to heat—through active cooling, it looks like an accessible option, including its 5,980-yen price.
