iphone in-car charging problem

All the USB ports in the car are USB C (apart from the one at the front that I use for my flash drive with my music on it). How do I charge my iPhone from one of those USB C ports? All my charging cables have a lightning plug at one end to go into the phone and a regular USB plug at the other end which doesn't fit the USB C ports.

Garage List
You can get a usb c to USB adapter. With this you can use your current cable.

Available from your on-line retailers or auction sites

This is the one I got.

I got this on eBay for 3.99. Works great. This port charges quicker too.

For $20, just get the USB C cable, skip the adapter, so you get all the benefits of the newest tech.
