Suggestion: get a single PSU for all of them, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075V1HYFS/
They actually sell wireless charging kits specifically for this purpose. set your depth to be ~1/16" shy of the thickness of your board and route the hole from the other side set the coil in. I did that with this stand and it worked out well (I've since epoxied it into place so it doesn't look quite so sketchy

10/26: 4 seems to be working for fast charging so far:
(sometimes unreliable?)Looks like sometimes my phone just derp and need a restart, happened again with the Yootech puck.Going to test the 10W YooTech puck tomorrow.
So far here are my findings:
If you can remove the back of your phone and if it has a contact point for Qi then you can get (just an example for the G4) the charger for cheap. Some even come bundled with a Qi pad/dock.
If you can't remove the back / it doesn't have the extra contact point then make sure the next device you buy has it.

Behind the scenes:
Jesus these thing are expensive. I spent 30 bucks and got separate things. A small stand to charge the watch and a upright pad that can charge my phone in portrait or landscape. I don’t get paying 100 bucks to just have it be one piece.

That thing is 20 bucks (28 with 8 dollar coupon at checkout), looks nice and does the exact same thing these 100 dollar ones do.
I just got this one:

I have this dock and it's been working really well for me so far. Should work with pretty much any case and it holds the watch in nightstand or regular mode.
Did you look on amazon? This one looks really nice
Yup! Here it is. I guess it was $8 not $6.

Honestly, I just took apart an old wireless charger I had for my old car. Ripped out the guts and fished it through. But if you don't have a spare one, something like this would work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073W7P5T8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Zud0Db1PJTBRS
I have another that I plan on doing for the other side. Thinking I might make a video in case people are interested.
These work like a champ. I have 2, one at home and one at work. Even works with a case, just have to remove the insert.
Get a decent multi-port charger then.
I have this one ...

8 ports, 2.4 amp per port, 12 amp overall. Costs about $35.
No I'm not getting a case for it, it's too comfortable to put a case on for me. I'm getting this (G4 version). They also have NFC so you don't have to worry about losing that.

https://smile.amazon.com/Charger-Nekteck-Certified-Delivery-MacBook/dp/B07DGTFQTD this has a 87W single USB C port and 4 USB 3 ports. You need to decide whether you need something this high, rarely do you need it.
Another high wattage - lots of ports device is https://smile.amazon.com/Charging-Station-Charger-Adapter-Compatible/dp/B07W1PC58R/ with a 60W USB C, a 18W USB C and three USB A ports. 60W will do for almost all laptops, the 18W is good enough for most phones and a trio of legacy gadgets. Even better, if you have one of those phones which support the proprietary QuickCharge 3.0 standard, this will still work as the USB A ports are QC capable.
Pretty cheap one, but works great and holds the phone in place... you could double sided tape it too, but it stays put and you can just move it out of the way and still access your ashtray. I bought a 5v hardwire adapter kit for $10 and ran it to the fuse box...

If you add a wireless charging receiver coil then your device can wirelessly charge from any Qi charger.
Indeed. I hadn't really looked into one until now, but this here is looking like a pretty good solution:

Still won't charge my SB2-15 as well as its original, but I think that oughta be plenty sufficient for office/every day carry in my backpack duties. Keep the charger at home.
Hey! Just picked up my Model 3 this week and I've purchased the following, all of which I highly recommend:
found this charging station for $16.99
Vogek 6-Port USB Charger Desktop Charging Station with Smart Identification
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JLG0ZD6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I bought this one, and it's great. Fits a OPO perfectly. I've bought 3, 1 for work and 2 for home.
I'm pretty sure he means the external ones with a lightning adapter like this one.
I would assume it would work for any device with a lightning connector. iPods just aren't a big market to bother listing them. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Here are the products that I used for this:
Note: if your phone already has wireless charging, you don't need the Mophie case. My phone is an iPhone 6S so I need a charging case but you won't need that if you have one of the new iPhones or Android phones that have wireless charging native to the phone.
Mophie JuicePack case (home charging pad included):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5XGZXW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mophie sells a car vent mount that you can use. However, I didn't use that because it doesn't swivel that well. So I bought the Mophie Desk Mount:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GJ9IV2O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I disconnected it from the stand...so I'm not using the stand at all.
Instead, I connected the charge pad (that used to be connected to the desk mount) and connected it to this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CXDRO5K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So I disconnected the magnet on the WizGear vent mount and connected the Mophie charge pad to the WizGear.
The Power Bank that you saw in the video is this one:

vdd is @ 5V. I'm charging with a wall wart. I switched over to a metered usb brick and I'm getting a 0.1A readout, so that seems good.
I feel like the charging is working, but the lights are just not for want ever reason.
It does seem to be getting more and more expensive every year. I'm fortunate to have a friend with a mill which is where this batch came from, otherwise it would have been out of reach for me from a budget standpoint.
Here's the cradle:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZIY5R5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1aVoybPQ179F8
I just bought this one. I'll post a quick review after I get it.
FWIW I also put this on my factory back and it works fine. Yes you have to alight the connectors accurately - just tape it on first, test it out, then remove one piece of tape, fold it over to remove the full sticky back and voila.
I use this. Works well Smays Desktop Charging Dock Station for HTC One M8, LG Google Nexus 5 (Black) by Smays http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JLG0ZD6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_3vh9ub1MTFTD0

Ah, thanks for the reply. I was thinking about another dock after looking into it.
This one
Has anyone tried...
Wireless charging?
They have a ton of micro usb qi charging pads designed to convert phones to wireless charging, not sure why it wouldn't work on the go. It's a lot easier to just drop a device on a charger than have to plug it in.
As an example:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C82R5DD
I have this and it works, plus if you put this sticker in your phone, you can charge it wirelessly.
Not sure if they have a Euro version of this https://store.google.com/product/universal_type_c_60w_charger unfortunately it only has one output and does not support the 9V profile, so it will charge your pixel at 15W. I would also check out the Apple Macbook Chargers, they would have everything you want in one port and do charge the Pixel. Surprisingly, the iVoler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ET762XS/ may meet your needs as it supports the 20V profile. Again, not sure if they have a euro plug, but you do get USB-A ports too. :) (This was also listed as OKAY by Nathan K, so no worries about this not working well)
If your laptop accepts other PD profiles and you don't mind a slower charge, there are a lot of other options too.
I have this: https://www.amazon.com/Vogek-Charger-Desktop-Charging-Identification/dp/B01MTS2WUA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1519630459&sr=8-5&keywords=the+charger+hub
and this: https://www.amazon.com/Targus-4-Port-USB-3-0-ACH124US/dp/B00P937GQ4/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1519630496&sr=1-2&keywords=targus+hub
Most of the wireless chargers for the model 3 have the standard slow charging if connected to the usb, and a faster charge if you get it connected to the cigarette lighter. The limit seems to be the built in usb output that is next to the charger pad area. I have a wireless that comes with a cigarette lighter. It is now much faster than my old one, claiming to be up to 15w depending on the phone being charged which I could believe through my usage so far.

I’ve been looking for one too for my S. So far I got this one from Amazon.
amazon wireless charger . Works great. If anybody got anything better , let me know.
Most usb-c-to-USB cables will work AFAIK, the problem is compatible battery packs. I just had to replace mine when the usb-c part broke, and I got the Targus and iVoler packs, with just a standard m-m usb-c and both worked. Apple chargers didn't though, I think there's a voltage difference or some proprietary nonsense.
The one thing your setup doesn’t allow for is wireless charging in your car with your magnetic mount. To accomplish that and still be able to use your desk qi charger, you might consider a different metal plate and magnetic qi vent mount. I use this one:
Nillkin Wireless Car Charger 2-in-1 Air Vent Vehicle Holder for All Qi-Enabled Devices - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072LTB7YW?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
The metal plate is horseshoe shaped, so it doesn’t block the coil.
Less intrusive way: https://www.amazon.com/Nillkin-Wireless-Charger-Vehicle-Qi-Enabled/dp/B072LTB7YW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510379054&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=NILLKIN+Enhance+Car+Wireless
You could try a cat trap, aka cardboard box :)
Maybe this one?
Wife got me this for Christmas last year. Holds the cord inside and just plugs into the wall.

Another question since you seem to know about cables...If this cable is for a laptop (60watts) is that going to have issues over a 10 ft usb c cable? - Was planning on using this charger

I traveled Europe recently, not as long as you though but when I was there I carried one back pack, in there I had 3 lenses, 35mm 50mm and kit 18-55mm, and my body D5550 with my battery grip , total of 3 batteries, I bought 2 64gb cards specifically for the trip, ended up not even using full of one of the 64gb, and a hard case on amazon to carry my SD Cards, a iPad mini and a iPad SD card reader, and my mefoto tripod, AND last which was really super helpful was a Anker battery pack, which charged my iPad and phone when out and abou, if your an American don't forget to buy an outlet converter, me and friends stayed in hostels and shared the converter!

iPhone 7 Plus
Recently got my iPhone 7 Plus 128 gb stolen and purchased a iPhone Xs Max. Forgot I had insurance on my old iPhone so they sent me a new one. I have the first iPhone 7 original box with charger, ear pods, and cable, but no headphone dongle. It also comes with 3 cases (red wallet, clear rubber, and a black case on the phone), a Qi charger adapter, and extra temper glass(one already on the screen). Looking to get 450 shipped.
Thanks

The 17mm ball on the mount is the same the desktop charger uses, so I just took the wireless charger off the desk stand and attached it to the dash mount.
There is also wireless charging &NFC sticker for it.

Without a case, the G4 is impossible to text on at the table. For me, that's not a big deal since when I'm on a desk, I use Pushbullet and I don't have to type on my phone. G4 also has wireless charging if you pick up a special sticker for it like this one. But I personally just swap batteries so that I'm never tethered to a wall. Each battery is 3000 mah too! LG Ui is pretty unobtrusive and similar to stock.
http://www.amazon.com/NeWisdom%C2%AE-Upgraded-Wireless-charging-Cellular/dp/B00YU08SOG
If the durability of the Xperia is an issue, I recommend just picking up a case for it. It sounds like it matches all your criteria perfectly. I've heard wonders from their battery saving feature.
I bought this one years ago to use with an old android phone I had. It works totally fine with my iPhone 8 Plus, and the charger is generic as hell. The one you picked up seems to at least have a couple of decent reviews. If youre worried about it, id keep looking around and see if you can find more reviews. If youre still not satisfied with what you find then i'd just return it.
It might be a bit pricey, but once I eventually get an AW I might get one of these. Belkin is a good brand so I assume this product has some quality to it.
A Qi charging receiver is easy to find for around $10 to $15 retail cost.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C82R5DD
Of course, there may be other costs involved in moving the internal components around to make enough room for a charging receiver.
I bought a similar one that can deliver 87W via USB-C plus four USB-A and leave it in my laptop backpack permanently. Total game changer.
I use this to charge my devices at night. If you have the 38mm, be sure the magnet grabs your watch or it won’t charge.
