Good luck!

Instead this device accepts an incoming Power Delivery 30W source. Documentation is unclear as to whether this supports 15V 2A and/or 20V 1.5A as the 30W source.
I would guess (without better documentationf from Belkin) that on the output side only 5V is output at up to the current (amperage) limit of the associated port type: up to 3A for USB-C, or up to 2.4A for USB-A. This is created through DC to DC power conversion taking the incoming higher-voltage (15V or 20V), lower current (2A or 1.5A) source and transforming it into a low-voltage (5V), higher-current (up to 3A in a single USB-C port, up to 6A across all ports max.) supply. Note that it is possible that higher voltage profiles might be supported on the USB-C output ports, but this would be surprising given the low output power ratings. As noted below, this device only supports 5V output.
Sorry if this is a bunch of technical stuff, but know that the short version is that the Belkin device is far from passive. Rather, it is an active power converter that must convert the incoming voltage as well as negotiate with any connected devices being charged,
Good luck!

With 4 devices connected - ideally it should be 7.5W per device. However, on actual observations it's more like 7.5W for the USB C and 5W for the USB-A.
In short, it's useful to charge lower power devices such as earbuds or smartwatch- but really not superuseful for 2 or 3 phones together.
Good luck!

The USB-C ports max out at only 5V/3A (15W). The USB-A ports max out at 5V/2.4A (12W). Total output between all 4 is 5V/6A = 30W.
Despite this, it's not a bad "road trip" charger where you don't need blazing fast USB-PD/PPS speeds. I'd argue the convenience of multiple ports would benefit in certain scenarios. If you needed a 100W USB-PD charger there are plenty of other deals.

Thanks and repped.

"Hi GaryR. The Belkin BUZ001 has the following power specifications: Total output: 5V / 6A 30W max Max output per port: USB-A 1 / A2: 5V / 2.4A USB-C 1 / C2: 5V / 3A When four ports are used: 5V / 1.5A each Furthermore, it is best to plug the device into a power source that provides at least 30W."

It doesn't seem to do anything when I try to use it in my toyota USBc plugs
