Default htc car charger compatibility?

Are accessories compatible across all htc models? I have an old htc car charger, which would obviously need an adapter for mini/micro usb, but otherwise is the power output etc all the same?

Apparently mini and microUSB have the same pinout. It should work.

I bought a Motorola microUSB rapid charger for mine. It was listed as compatible by the vendor... we'll see I've been using Motorola chargers with my G1.

Make sure your charger can provide a full 1A, not 500mA (standard USB current). I've found the phone can draw nearly 500mA under heavy use, so the battery doesn't get much charge. My G1 actually draws more power than the charger supplies when doing navigation...

it wont work. the Nexus One has a different connection. i went to www.fommy.com and bought the Motorola® (OEM) Ferrari Micro USB Vehicle Charger. it lights up neon blue when plugged in. it looks sweet.

Except I already have a charger (if it works) and an adapter should be significantly cheaper...
