I rented a car last week, a mazda 3 maybe 2024 or 5, and it had no
cigarrette lighter port, only a round cap where it should have been.
 
It had no type-A USB jack either, only type-C.
 
But my laptop is 4 years old and isn't recharged by USB-C.  Is there a
cable with USB-C at one end and either Dell or a multiple choice of tips
at the other?  Or something that will work.
 
Is this going to be a trend in cars, no cigarrette lighter, or does
Alamo get this because some people use the power port to run jack
hammers or something they don't like?

   Accessory socket   12V @ 10A  (connector type not shown)

   USB socket          5V @ 2.1A

Not really much of a replacement for a 12V @ 25A lighter socket.
