Apple-recommended
Belkin USB-C car charger
Straight from Apple's vault of recommendations, Belkin's charger has but one USB-C port for fast charging your iPhone, or even your MacBook, since its total power is 36W. It's a little pricey for what you get, but if you live and die by Apple's picks, then check it out.
Your best option for a car charger for your iPhone XS is any one of these because they maintain the wired charging connection. While wireless charging is convenient, it's just not fast enough to be worth it on the road. If you're using a navigation app, your phone will drain more quickly than any wireless charger can keep up with. Grab one of these, and juice up.
