Guys,
I was using "Samsung's Adaptive Fast Car charger" with my S7 and I used it with my S8 which is just charging in regular speed. Does anyone have any suggestion?

Thanks

Hello. I use this one I found on amazon. You have to use the orange port for fast charge though. Works great.

AUKEY Car Charger with Dual-Port & Quick Charge 3.0
 
I can confirm the Anker 3.0 Quick Charge 42W works perfectly. Charges 1 S8 at Fast Charge rate and another at Quick Charge rate without any charger overheating.

Your choice in cable quality is also very important when it comes to charging speed and heat reduction. I use Aukey for 3' lengths and Anker PowerLine+ for 6' lengths with no problems at all. Anker can be a little pricey compared to other brands but I have never had a problem with one of their a/c blocks or 12vdc adapters, and thier warranty for usb cables is great.

My S8+ says fast charging, but doesn't. 30 minutes later still only 20-30%, even though it says 1:20 total charge time from empty on the screen. On the S7, 30% would be at 50-70% charge.
