My old phone charger finally gave out and I grabbed a cheap one from the gas station

It took over 4 hours to get my Pixel 7 to 50% and the cable got super hot. I ordered the official Google 30W charger instead and it hits full charge in under an hour now. The difference in build quality and charging speed is huge. Anyone have a go-to brand for good, fast chargers that last?

Yeah, gas station chargers are total junk. They're a fire hazard and barely push any power. For a Pixel, you definitely need a good USB-C PD charger. Anker's my go-to brand, their stuff is solid and doesn't cost a fortune.

I've actually had decent luck with them in a pinch, but you're right about needing PD for a Pixel.
