There's good reason to use the official dock. That said, if you're willing to risk it a little, the Insignia dock has had good reviews and is far cheaper. There have been 0 reported cases of it bricking a Switch.
For plugging in the Switch, any car charger with at least 39W output over USB-PD should work for docked mode. I'd recommend getting a USB-IF charger, since you're pretty much guaranteed that it's safe. Here's a good option: https://www.amazon.com/Nekteck-Certified-Charger-Delivery-Included/dp/B075WQQG7C
Note that I haven't actually tried the above charger, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

It’s Wirecutter approved.
I see what you're bringing in other replies. And I don't have recommendations for those things.
But what I don't see is anything about your work tools. I would imagine that robot installation and servicing would require a hardware toolkit, an electronics toolkit, and a computing toolkit.
My job is highly technical and requires a number of computing devices that have to be charged at all times. So what I use and recommend there is as follows:
I swore off USB-C PD car chargers for a long time, they were largely a hot mess back around the time of the OG Pixel launch and that phone (and the P2) could charge at a decent 10-12W rate off old Type A chargers anyway (not the P3 tho). I even bought a couple for Nathan K to test with his fancy gear and they were colossal failures.
There were a couple decent ones but mostly single port and/or fixed cable ones... I recall the Verizon branded one actually being solid (it was made by a pretty large OEM of this stuff with a good rep, I forget the name, starts with an X I think). I mean, heck, Belkin had to recall a car charger that they were selling in Google's own store and it was months before they replaced it.
Anyway, just a word of warning, I'd avoid anything with iffy reviews or that has been out too long... Something USB-IF certified or with a decent warranty (like Belkin's) at least means it's been looked over or has someone standing behind it. Having said that, this 45W Nekteck USB-C PD + Type A charger is USB-IF certified and has been getting good word of mouth reports.
They also have this smaller one that will be just as fast for the purpose of charging a phone (which won't draw over 18W), but the Type A port is only good for 5W so if you need to charge something fast off that port you might as well pay a couple bucks more for the other one. If you need to charge two USB PD capable phones there's this Scosche.
It should be able to charge two phones at full speed (18W each), not USB-IF certified AFAIK but Nathan K reviewed and okayed their dual 18W AC charger, and Scosche has been making pretty solid car chargers for a long time... Pricier than Nekteck's tho. Their dual USB-C PD home AC charger is worth a look too, even tho it's pricier still, as that's a rarity.
Google sold a 21.5W non-PD one that basically supplied 15W & 7.5W with load balancing for a while, but dual PD chargers have been hard to come by otherwise. The smaller Scosche is probably not worth it vs the smaller Necktek or even the larger one since it's priced as high as the latter and not rated for any more than the former.
Edit: There's a version of the Necktek with a built in cable too, but being able to replace it seems like the better long term bet IMO, plus allows you to go as long or as short as you need.
I used that one, then bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WQQG7C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works well also and the USB C cable is replaceable.
This is THE ONE to get. I have the version without the built in cable so if the cable fails at some point I can just replace it. It's the only usb-if certified car charger I could find on Amazon.

If you didn't, I would order brydge first, and then the google keyboard at a later date if so desired.

I also got this sweet dongle for about 40 bucks! Would definitely recommend getting one like it.

I also ordered these pen loops and stuck one to the back of the brydge keyboard.

Lets add the first car charger to the list. PD 12v up to 3a by Nektek.

Tested today. Is able to charge while playing Hand of Fate 2, but only gained about 4% in 40 minutes.
Set power settings to best performance, backlight at 50%, turned of sleep mode, and charged on the desktop for an hour and it charged about 23%
Did not test charging while in sleep or turned off, but it should charge pretty quickly.
I use this, no problems at all. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WQQG7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Interesting, because I spend an hour in the car in the morning and another in the afternoon, my phone is usually charged to 100% when I get home. I've always left my phone unplugged at night going back to my Nexus One and even before that although with removable batteries, it wasn't so much of an issue. When I wake up now, I'm at at least 60%. 100% in the car on USB-C PD rapid charger by the time I get to my client that day. That USB-C charger will also charge my MacBook Pro if needed although slowly, when suspended. It will slow the drain in the MBP if I'm using it.

i hope so i just purchased this;
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WQQG7C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and even though it is on the supported list of car adapters it does not work for the win 2. Im returning it to amazon in 2 hours.
Well since I never received a response I went out and bought one. This one works well it charges the laptop with no error messages and it also charges my pixel 2 it is IF usb C certified with PD specs, which was important to me. I ordered some longer cords that have full PD specs. These cords will handle up to 100watts so everything is working smoothly these USB c specs are confusing now I am labeling my cords since I have some lower wattage cords my phone uses. The Dell one is $100 geez incredibly over priced. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WQQG7C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Their wall charger also works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seconded. I have the removable cable version and have been happy with it.

This Nekteck is my favorite. Certified, charges fast, and is the newer Nekteck version with the removable C cable. I prefer the removable C cable over the fixed type C--removable one can easily be replaced with another.

The way it charges is odd. There's no reliable way to see the actual wattage/amp via apps like ampere, because something involving the screen being on.
And apparently the way pixel 2s charge, they sort of "ramp up" slower at first, then faster or something.
I did alot od research for a proper car charger that supports this new "power delivery" standard via type C.

I use the above car charger to charge my T480S and it works great. Charges while in use or in standby. I know that’s not a power bank, but it’s not made by Lenovo so I figured I’d comment. Sorry if it’s not relevant.
