All I can find in my amazon order records is the title "USB C Car Charger,AUKEY Car Charger Compatible with iPhone 12 Mini/12 Pro/12 Pro Max, 30W PD Car Charger Adapter,4.8A All Metal Mini Cigarette Lighter"
I DID use hardware to test the power output. I used this:

As far as the Magsafe Puck vs the lightning to USB-C cable... no magsafe will NEVER charge as fast as a directly connected cable. That is just the nature of wireless charging. For ME though, the convenience of just slapping my phone on the magsafe charger in the car for both mounting/charging is worth more than the absolute fastest charging speed. With the magsafe adapter-in car... the charger can keep up with my usage (streaming audio + GPS) while also charging the phone at a reasonable rate, so it works perfectly for me.
The problem with many previous generation wireless chargers was:
- The old-school chargers didn't "hold" the phone, so I had to deal with ratcheting arms or other contraptions to hold the phone in place, reducing the convenience factor of it being wireless.
- Old school chargers didn't properly align the phone, so often I'd have sub-optimal charging
- Old school chargers often couldn't keep up with the power drain from my in-car usage.. possibly due to the alignment issue above, partially because they maxed out at a theoretical 5-7.5w depending on the unit.
