I’ve tried different cables (actual Apple cables), two different car chargers, two different cars and two different phones (mine and my wife’s) and they won’t charge with the car chargers... these phones also don’t connect to iTunes for Windows 10 (but that’s a different story)

Same issue here - can't get it to charge or connect using the USB in my vehicle. Also have had trouble connecting for charging. I've made sure the port is clear and no issues there. Also made sure to try different cables.
My phone was nearly dead, so I turned it off thinking I’d restart it to see if that worked. It didn’t have the juice to turn back on. I plugged it back into the same USB-A to lightning charger in my car, and it immediately charged. Moments later the phone turned on and has worked fine ever since.
Your car usb/headunit may need a firmware update. I haven’t had an issue charging in my vehicle although on the first day I did. I had a service appointment for my car headunit the next day for an unrelated issue where they installed a new update and it happened to fix the issue I was having with my iPhone charging and Bluetooth staying connected. Something to consider if you have trouble charging other iPhone 11’s. If this is the case then it’s a fix Apple won’t be able to do. If your radio allows for OTA updates check and see if one is available. If it’s aftermarket check the brands website to see if any new updates are available or report the issue so they be aware and address it (if they still support your model).
Well that didn’t really help... I guess I’ll just have to take the phones into an Apple Store and let then know
thx
Did you ever figure this out? Does it have anything to do with USB vs the USB-C cable the phone shipped with?
