Are there any issues with charging my laptop from my car? There are usb-c PD chargers available and with 60w and 48w. I'm currently using a 32w usb-c charger and sometimes I charge my laptop when I'm working on the road. But the 32w charger can barely top off my laptop, so I was thinking about buying a 60w car charger.

What kind of laptop do you have? Does it have any specific power requirements?

its a macbook pro 16in. So its pretty power hungry hence why the 32w hold the charge but doesn't gain a charge. I think the 60w should be enough to add a little bit of juice.
