While researching for an employee, I found this appeared to be the best option available since Satechi has been around a while and it provides both USB-A and USB-C outputs:
https://satechi.net/products/72w-type-c-pd-car-charger-adapter
It was also the one with the most power output.
I'll put my trust in a name which has been around for years over the no-name brands offering similar look-alike products with both cheaper price & quality. Beware of the cheap no-names as they may be electrical & fire hazards because they will usually cut corners, plus they are more likely to damage the expensive laptop.

Identify your particular model Mac, here:
Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support
Identify your MacBook Air model - Apple Support
You posted your question in the MacBook Air Community, but your profile information is indicating a MacBook Pro. We need to start by knowing what you have.
All those products are more or less the same cheap junk from the PRC. I have had good success with Anker products but that doesn't mean they aren't others worth considering. The only caveat is that most of those devices advertise their total power capacity by adding the power delivered to each port. In other words a "60W power adapter" typically has two ports each of which is only capable of 30W. If you can find one with more power than you need, that's what I'd recommend.
And there's nothing wrong with using a power adapter with more power — 130W or more is perfectly ok. The Mac will only draw what it needs.
Yes. That Mac needs a 30W power supply, so any cigarette lighter adapter rated for at least that much will work. I'd get one with at least twice as much power, only because they don't cost much more.
You need a USB-C power adapter capable of supplying what your particular model MBP requires.
There are literally hundreds of different model Apple laptops. Which one do you have?
Satechi is a good company. I did not know they made one.
And they do not play the stupid game of adding port output power:
USB-C max output: 60W
Thanks, John. Sorry about the delay but I was driving back from Texas, and I've been kinda busy. I've seen charger rated at 130 up to 150. Anything wrong with getting one of those, and that way I can charge more than my laptop at one time. Any particular brands that you would or would not recommend? Again, thanks for your help.

Right now my 13” apple laptop air has died . I’ll be home in 30 min or so and can give you the exact model number then. BTW what does MBP stand for?
MBP = MacBook Pro
I have a MacBook Air Retina 13” 2020
