For example, a 48W charger could output 48W when only 1 port is used, but when two ports are used, it will output 24W respectively.
Although for this particular charger, it does not have this "output share" function.
So the maximum output you will receive from Port 1 is 30W and from Port 2, 18W.
But, one thing to keep in mind is that when charging lithium ion batteries, the charging efficiency gradually reduces.
Your laptop may be able to receive 45W PowerDelivery input, but as your laptop battery reaches 100% charge, it will slow down to 30W, 18W, 10W and so on.
It does this because of:
1. heat build-up (to reduce the heat output by the battery when charging at high wattage)
2. safety - lithium ion batteries becomes more and more unstable as it reaches its peak charge.
So in other words, although your laptop can charge at 45W, it will drop down to 30W most likely around 50~70% battery capacity charge.
If you want to save a couple bucks, it wont make a huge difference if you take this 30W charger.
But to get the best charging performance, go with the 45W PD specced charger.
Furthermore, the power outlet / aux fuse is almost certainly at least 15A (and I'd be surprised if it's not 20A for most cars). It depends on what else is on the same circuit, of course, but the charger in the OP isn't ever going to pull more than 6A at any given time.
Yeah, I'm not 100% clear on it, either, but I'd assume that's the case. So since 12V is the (most likely) cap and 12V isn't part of any PD spec, you're looking at a max output of 27W (3A@9V).

48W doesn't match any standard, either, so the best you could hope for is 45W. If I had to guess, I'd say that each port is capped at 30W, but won't get more than 27W. It's BS marketing.
This gets a TD from me. The $12 unit that has a USB-C and USB-A port is a better buy, IMO.
