On Wednesday at CES 2023,philosophy eroticism Panasonic Automotive introduced a portable solution to keeping your car toxin-free and smelling good.

The size of a travel mug, the nanoe X Portable Air Purifier fits in a cupholder and tackles odor and harmful air pollutants. That includes that fried food smell from your favorite drive-through and allergens like pollen and pet dander, and helps inhibit viruses, bacteria, and mold. Panasonic's proprietary nanoe X technology produces tiny electrically-charged water particles containing an oxidizing agent that effectively breaks down substances in the air. In simple terms, it's really effective at cleaning the air and doesn't require a filter.

Whether it's a rideshare or just sharing a ride, the pandemic has made us all more aware of the risks of sharing air in enclosed spaces. While it can't make any specific claims about its efficacy against COVID-19, the air purifier has been shown to have an impact on viruses, said Andrew Poliak, CTO of Panasonic Automotive.
