I've seen people plug heated blankets into those ports. It's definitely capable of fast charging your phone but I'm guessing the adapter is busted (or just real old). You should be able to pick up a fast charger (20-40w) for $20-30 and not have to worry about charging a battery at home.
long story short, with the position of the only spot where I can put my phone holder without it falling off (trust me i've tried a dozen other spots), the charger would be either on my lap or over the steering wheel and i'm not super comfortable with that.
