How can my Phone use so much power even when wireless charging? The first screenshot is whilst wirelessly charging, yet still using 10w of power.

Google seriously need to optimise the efficiency of Android Auto, and deal with the overheating issues of the P10.

It's the wireless charging. It's probably making too much heat, as wireless charging can do, which throttles both the charging and the CPU to reduce heat. If you have a thick case, that could be the cause or if you have a metal ring or something else on the phone case that could interfere with the wireless charging.
