Depends - is your car’s USB port USB-C? What is its power rating?
Otherwise, there are several good cigarette lighter adapters that will work.

If your vehicle has USB C then yes it should produce enough power for you to use the MagSafe charger.

Then it won’t work without an adapter, and even then it likely won’t provide enough voltage for the MagSafe charger to work.

What about into a cigarette lighter with a usb-a adapter. I’m just afraid to plug my phone into my truck. Every time I do the phone gets hot.

What’s the point? Magsafe saves you one step; plugging in your phone. You essentially have to unplug it when you are done. Why would you need MagSafe in your car?

You can’t get a surge thru a magnet like you can plugging it in.

“Apple says the MagSafe Charger will charge with any adapter greater than 12W, but at a reduced rate. Tests show around 10W or less when used with adapters below 20W.”

The real story behind MagSafe, USB-C PD, and why you need a 20W AC charger | AppleInsider

If you want to charge your iPhone 12 using MagSafe, Apple recommends using certain 20W AC adapters — and they don't need to come from Apple, despite what you may have heard. We explain what the requirements are, and why an older 18W adapter just won't cut it.

This was a great question I was wondering about… My car also uses USB a. So it sounds like the cigarette lighter might actually provide enough power, if there’s a cigarette lighter to USB C adapter, and then plug MagSafe into that?

You can't plug a MagSafe charger into a USB-A receptacle, so it's a moot point. The MagSafe charger has a USB-C connector.

If you buy a cigarette lighter plug with USB-C and enough wattage, it will power the MagSafe charger and charge your phone.
