This is my first USB-C phone, so I don't have any USB-C accessories yet, besides the included wall adapter. What's a good / safe / less-expensive car charger (I'd need a USB-C cable as well). Preferably PD, but would be ok with 3 AMP USB C charging as well ( I believe the phone supports that). Makeuseof.com has and article, which links a spreadsheet, in which it seems very few are even safe. I can't post URLs yet, but you can search for best-usb-c-chargers-whats-safe-whats-dangerous for makeuserof.com. Any recommendations? I see Walmart has an Onn 3 AMP car charger, with cable for $5 -- but feel like I'd save lots on the charger -- and waste it on another phone...

My solution is to have a USB insert charger, with a homemade magnetic phone mount over the top of it. I seldom use the charger; it's there for emergencies. I usually just put my phone on the magnetic mount.

The mount is a magnetic pad (from amazon), with the cut-off end of an old usb stick epoxied to the back. (The magnetic mount does not provide charging capability). If I need to charge my phone, I pull off the magnet and plug in a standard cable.

So, I can't have the phone mounted and charge at the same time, but it's super simple and clean looking. I know this solution isn't for everyone.
