    Yes I would have a serious look at your car's wiring ratings to double check if delivering that much power is ok.

    As a result I think the largest car bricks are around 120w usually but you can always look.

    You can use a car charger to use it as a charger rated at either 90W/120W, but definitely not using the NB while charging at the same time.
    If you use an inverter then you will need to watch out for Amp rating on the cigarette port because most likely 180W AC adapter cannot be supported and no power will come thru due to over-current protection on the cigarette port.
