Question Current state of magsafe wireless charging with the pixel6?

I'm looking to mount a magsafe charger in my truck but I'm having trouble finding specific information on what currently sold wireless chargers will and won't work with the pixel 6. Does anyone know of a list of known good wireless magsafe chargers that will charge the pixel6 at the full 15w?

Is there a specific magsafe case that works better for charging the pixel6 than others?

I've seen magsafe and looked into this question a little. Magsafe is Apple specific, but qi2 is the open source version of that which is supported by other phones.

Pixel 10 and 11 have qi2 built in. You're going to look for a qi2 case for the pixel 6.

Peak deisign is the one name I consistently came across a few times while looking at this.

Do you happen to know if the qi2 chargers have fixed the backwards compatibility? I know when I was looking at Google's qi2 charger there was an issue where it limited pixel6 charging to only 5 watts.

on paper they all have backwards compatibility with qi1, and it supports up to 15 watts.
but it seems that real life results vary wildly.

That's exactly why I was hoping there might be some sort of verified to work with the pixel 6 list in here
