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.

There are some competing chargers from other established brands that have a lot more positive reviews that don't appear to be paid or shills. I haven't bought any of them yet, but I'm price tracking them and will probably scoop a couple at some point when they slash prices low enough that I consider it a steal.
In the past, I've benefitted from others mentioning security oddities; not every single concern has been justified, however enough of them have that I felt I should pay it forward and mention the red flags that I noticed.
In other words, if you want to look past this red flag and make a purchase, that's more than fine. However, if you're going to try to categorically refute my concern as inconsequential, I'd ask that you consider staying away from unsubstantiated judgements such as "you're overthinking it" and stick to facts if you can. I find it helps everyone out a bit more that way.

I have a Spigen charger for home use and it's not been good. The first one even broke in a way I now see other reviewers have experienced. Spigen requires you to send a video of the product not working and then they send a coupon for 99% off. They are on my avoid list for chargers at least.
I appreciate hearing your feedback on the matter of course, but is that feedback you left as a Vine review?
