Car Chargers
The reference point for charging, properly specified, properly certified, sensibly priced.
Car Chargers
Running maps on a bright screen with Bluetooth audio can outpace a 5W socket charger, so the battery falls during the drive. Anything doing sustained navigation wants USB-C Power Delivery not the cheap sockets bundled with older cars.
Where it wins
PD keeps up with navigation, unlike 5W sockets. Dual-port models cover a passenger. Cheap.
Where it costs you
Some 12V sockets stay live and will drain the car battery. Loose sockets cause connection dropouts. Very cheap units generate radio interference.
What to check
Get at least 20W USB-C PD if you navigate. Check whether your car's socket is switched with the ignition, if not, unplug it, because a charger left in a live socket can flatten the battery over a week.

Navigation with the screen at full brightness drains faster than a slow charger fills.
