Chevrolet is introducing a smartphone air conditioner as a thing we need. In the 2016 Malibu, Volt, Cruze, Impala and other vehicles, Chevrolet will install an additional air conditioning vent that pipes cool air directly onto a charging smartphone.
It only works when the AC is on, but presumably if the passengers are comfortable enough to not need it switched on, there’s little risk of a charging phone getting too hot.
