Looking at the price of the the DJI car charger, I'm wondering if there is a less expensive way of doing this. Would inverters as shown below do the job okay?

Even the small one would do the job, and has a USB so you can keep the extender topped up.
You might get the larger version so as to have ample spare capacity for a laptop and phone charger too.
They are a useful thing to have, and could for example keep a router going in the house if power was out.

I see that the DJI P2 bench charger is rated at 100-240 VAC and 1.8 amps max. That would figure 216 watts at 120 VAC. So I'm wondering if even the 200 watt inverter would handle it.
I notice that the P2 bench charger gets very warm when charging the P2 battery.
