Can I charge a MacBook from a car charger?

Yes — any USB-C PD charger with 45W+ charges a MacBook Air. MacBook Pro needs 67W+ for full-speed charging. The Baseus 160W and Anker 535 both handle it.

Will a car charger drain my car battery?

Not while the engine is running. When parked with the engine off, a car charger draws minimal power — less than your dashboard lights. Unplugging when parked for hours is good practice but not critical.
