I understand we cannot use this without proper certification at a government power outlet?

This chap on Amazon actually tested the voltage, wattage, amperage. Here are his results:

4.0 out of 5 stars Good charger, but with compromises
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023
The upsides of this charger are pretty obvious: good materials, compact size (2.5" x 1.75" x 1.25"), solidly built & hefty (143g), folding plugs, 3 output ports (USB-C1, C2 & A3). As with other GaN adapters, it runs relatively cool compared to standard chargers when used continuously at high output. With 3 ports, small size, folding plugs & 65W total output, this could be the perfect travel charger and keep all your electronic gizmos (up to and including many laptops) charged up on the road by itself.However, there are some not so obvious compromises with this charger.1) There is a reason USB-C2 + USB-A3 power split wasn't included in the "Dual Port Charging" section of the charging guide: the performance stinks when these two ports are used at the same time. While C1 + C2 and C1 + A3 both result in 45W + 20W output, using C2 + A3 results in a *combined* output of less than 18W, as well as dropping the voltage to a sad 4.78V for both. This is regardless of whether C1 is also in use. In effect, this is a 2-port fast charger only.2) The voltage sags quite a bit. At 2.8A output, the voltage is already down to 19.65V (from 20V nominal), and by the full 3A output it's at less than 19.5V (see picture). Most adapters have some voltage sag as output increases, but this is a bit much. I was only able to get 59W max output from C1/C2 for this reason, instead of the more typical 62-63W one might expect from a nominally 65W charge port.3) Both C1 and C2 are PPS- and PD-compatible, which is great for us Samsung owners as we can take advantage of "Super Fast Charging" in our phones. However, PPS seems to work only when *one* of the 3 ports are used. Whenever more than 1 port is used, the charger kicks my phone out of PPS ("super fast charging") and down into "fast charging" speed only, which is some 25-33% slower. This only seems to affect PPS devices like my Samsung phone, but not PD-only devices which will merrily charge at 45W + 20W from C1+C2 all day long.So, while looking pretty good on paper, the compromises with this charger will keep it from being my sole travel charger on the road, which is a shame.

I guess everyone's needs are different, but I think for most people who travel, this would fit the bill.
1. If it is essentially a 2port fast charger, that is fine with most people. How often do you need to FAST charge 3 devices at the same time? Phone, laptop, and ?? For me if it can even just charge a laptop and 2 phones even if it is slow is fine in real world use.
2. When i really need 3 ports is at night...laptop or tablet, phone, smartwatch. Overnight, i could care less how fast it charges (slower is actually better)
3. PPS is nice to have but in reality it is not 25-33% faster so if it doesn't do PPS with 2 ports, that's fine. I have tested my Samsung phone with an without PPS and the time difference in charging is like less than 5 minutes difference to full charge, sometimes much less. The big difference is during charging there's a segment when it's faster like maybe going from 30-50% or something like that. If you want to take advantage of that then realistically just charging that one device is not a dealbreaker.
4. That difference in weight is negligible in reality.
I bought something similar to this for a little less and i am quite happy with it.
I understand we cannot use this without proper certification at a government power outlet?
It's listed under Specifications: Certification FCC/ CE/ UL report/ IC/ CP65/ ROHS/ WEEE
As you said, the spec mentioned UL, but there is zero certification as a professional reviewer shown on the reviews.
Been using 1 for 6 months and the other for almost 1 year. No issues with them.
