[QUOTE="techDriver, post: 24666, member: 9139"] When I bought this car I was shocked that the USB-C was only 40W (something I had to test for since not marked) and there was no 12V DC socket for my 100W AC inverter (or for that matter, just a forward tire inflater if needed). There was enough about the car that I bought it anyways, and I largely love it. Except this is really eating at me. We go on long trips and I or my other half would like the option of working away without having to worry about power. Is there a safe way to hard wire some sort of AC inverter or 12V (8-10A) socket for the front-right passenger? Yes, I know there's a 12V in the back, but I'd rather not run a wire from the back to the front. Another option I was thinking was some sort of power bank in the little cubby under the centre console. I'd ideally like to not drill holes, curious if there's a wiring pass-through to the batter/AC I could use that others have discovered. Or maybe there's a reputable after market place I ought to go? I'm in Toronto, Canada if that makes any difference. Thanks for any advice out there. I'm still kind of shocked Chevy didn't put in a modern 100W PD USB-C option AND took away something so basic as a 12V. [/QUOTE]
