12v car charger that does rapid charging

I have a USB A to C cable that came with the phone plugged into my car, but it charges slowly, which means just playing music over Spotify is enough to drain the battery while it's plugged in. It's painfully slow. I've heard an A to C cable doesn't rapid charge the phone anyways. I have the original C to C cable laying around now as well. Is there any charger I can plug into my 12v slot in order to rapid charge the Pixel?

I purchased this Aukey QC 3.0 Car Charger last year. I didn't think it would charge rapidly but it certainly does.

I second the Aukey car charger recommendation, very useful!

I use this one also, works perfectly, even when the gf is charging her iPhone off the USB port.

A USB A to C will definitely do rapid charge, you just need a usb socket with high amps, or, better yet, an actual Qualcom Quickcharge 3 charger.
I picked up an Aukey wall-wort, battery pack, and car charger (all QC3.0).
They all charge rapidly without issue.

I grabbed this Aukey, nice and small and charges rapidly through the USB-C port https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E764DXM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
