Car Power supply

XPost: alt.comp.hardare

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?

A 2017 Nissan has a 12V connector on the dashboard .
It isn't a Cigarette Lighter according to the Car Manual.

I had a windshield mounted traffic Camera plugged in that socket until the
suction cup failed and the camera dropped down.
The camera broke so I took the SD Card out and threw the rest away(recycled).
