Can the Moto E5 Play be charged using a cigarette lighter?

[TechTimid]

I was wondering if there are chargers that can be connected to the phone and an automobile cigarette lighter? I thought if I was away camping, it might be needed.

Is there a charging cord that can be purchased for this, and if so, are they able to be used with any android smartphone, our do you have to consider the brand?

You can get usb cigarette lighter plugs and just plug in your phone etc using the cable you have... They come with multiple usb sockets if you want to charge more than one device. Be aware that most lighter sockets are off when the car is off, however some four wheel drive vehicles have sockets that are always live. In any case, the plugs light up when power is available...

I have a wireless charging pad glued into the console of the Jeep and just plonk the phone on that while driving...

I bought a cheap Platinum Series dual port car charger from Big Lots. 2.1 Amp rapid charge, overcharge protection, compatible with all mobile devices. I hope this works, will be taking it on my next camping trip, and hoping it charges properly and doesn't damage the phone.
