Spigen's support has confirmed this "third-party seller" (Powerarc [amazon.com]) is one of Spigen's official seller accounts.
Re:[## 583226 ##] Is this an official Spigen authorized reseller?

Further, the official Spigen US page has also launched: Car Charger Arc.SA - Spigen.com Official Site – Spigen Inc [spigen.com]
Finally, the actual delivered product exactly matches Spigen's own barcodes:

I suggest caution approaching this post, as OP only appears to be presenting supporting information. What has been left out is this: visiting this 'subsidiary' website gives a security error, which is generally not a great sign. The Amazon seller account being used to sell this item is brand new, which also isn't a good sign. The reviews so far appear to be paid ones, which is a bad sign. Oddly, Spigen themselves do have an Amazon account that they use to sell their products, however they've not listed this product themselves.
For comparison sake, Spigen's other car charger that's sold on Amazon is also listed on Spigen's own website (not some subsidiary.) It is also sold directly by Spigen's own Amazon seller account. It has been listed on Amazon for a long time now, and it routinely has lightning sales. If this newer version is legitimate, I would expect the same behavior, meaning that this price is likely to be available many times in the future.
I would encourage others who prefer to be cautious with their expensive electronics to let others be early adopters, because this deal is filled with red flags. If it's real, you'll probably be able to access this price again in the future anyway.

This model isn't yet featured on Spigen's US site [spigen.com], so perhaps this is a grey market item from their domestic market [spigen.co.kr]? Alternately, it could be counterfeit. I'm not willing to roll the dice with the devices I'd plug into this charger. I include the specs below with the note that only the 45W ports supports sufficiently high current draw to properly support Samsung's 25W or 45W Super Fast Charge modes. Otherwise it should be considered more impressive that in addition to PPS both ports also support voltage modes typical for laptops. Were Samsung putting out something like this for an even higher price (and they've come close [samsung.com]) i'd probably be in. For now I'm stuck waiting though this would otherwise check all the boxes for what I've been waiting for...
USB-C Port 1Total 45W Max (5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/2.25A, 3.3-11.0V/4.05A, 3.3-16.0V/2.8A, 3.3-21.0V/2.1A)
USB-C Port 2Total 30W Max (5.0V/3.0A, 9.0V/3.0A, 15.0V/2.0A, 20.0V/1.5A, 3.3-5.9V/3.0A, 3.3-11.0V/2.25A)
Good luck!

EDIT: Found my answer. This is a third party seller, relatively new but with high ratings this year.

About the last site I ever used in the last five years which hadn't yet migrated fully to https was a local library, and thankfully even they've converted. Knowing that site was, however, handy when dealing with certain wireless access points whose login pages weren't able to overcome modern security in their redirect methods.
Good luck!

Spiegen's primary site does mention a line of products branded PowerArc (https://www.spigen.com/products/a...7021546543 - "Meet ArcField —Spigen PowerArc's first MagSafe compatible charger")
Okay, let's look up that product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Arc...378&sr=8-1
What do you know, sold by the same third party seller.
Or let's look at ANY POWER PRODUCT on the Spiegen Amazon web store:
https://www.amazon.com/stores/pag...f_=ast_bl
I clicked 5 and they were all sold by powerarc.
The website is likely a red herring - probably a marketing site they threw together when launching the new sub-brand and forgot.
Also, the Amazon seller page lists the owner of powerarc as DaeYoung Kim, who is the CEO of Spigen (no idea how vetted that information is on Amazon, though). It also has the proper address of Spigen (the official Spigen account has an outdated address that doesn't match the one listed on their site).
They've sold >50k units in the past year, of a brand that proactively seeks out and goes after counterfeit goods. I'm 100% convinced powerarc is Spigen and this is an authentic product.

They confirmed that PowerArc is theirs and that the PC2200 USB C Car Charger in the provided link is official Spigen.

Mine was delivered today; all the model numbers match up exactly with the site.

Of course, the trend over multiple listings having been promoted on slickdeals over the past month suggests/confirms that Spigen has been actively promoting power products through their previously abandoned powerarc Amazon storefront in various online/social channels.
Good luck!
