iPhone SE 2020 (iPhone SE 2nd Gen) has one glaring weakness – a small battery. The iPhone SE 2 supports super-fast 18-watt USB-C PD fast charging and can be charged from zero to 60% in just 30 mins and from zero to 88% in 1 hour. The best iPhone SE 2020 chargers are 18-watt or higher USB-C PD adapters as they charge SE Gen 2 at fastest supported speed and cost nearly same as regular adapters.
The iPhone SE 2nd Gen now comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable, and you do not need any new cable to fast-charge it with USB-C adapters. However, if you purchased your SE 2020 earlier, you will require a new USB-C to Lightning cable to fast-charge it.
A dual port USB-C charger will fast-charge your phone and your iPad/Airpods/MacBook etc. at the same time from a single power outlet.
