Can’t get my MagSafe charger to work in my car?

Just received my MagSafe charger for my 12 Pro Max. Planning to use it in my car. Plugged it in to my car and doesn’t work. Works fine plugged in inside the house so I know it’s not defective. I don’t have the box anymore for my car charger so I don’t know how much the output is. I’m thinking it may not be powerful enough? What are some recommended USB-c car chargers that are guaranteed to work with the MagSafe?

YES! Me too. I tried THREE different USB-C car chargers, and a USB-A to C adapter. no dice. It charges for a minute then stops. This is a problem. It doesn't matter how much output the charger should have, the magsafe ring should throttle back if it doesn't have the go-ahead to go full 15w. yet here we are.
