No, the USBC-2PORT is not compatible with vehicle USB ports.

Why the USBC-2PORT Cannot Be Used in Vehicle USB Ports

In-car entertainment systems (including those running Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) require a direct, one-to-one data connection between the vehicle and the device. They lack the capability to read USB hubs or splitters. If you plug a splitter into your car's USB port, the car's system will likely fail to recognize any attached devices.
