I have to carry fridge behind the seat, because my cable is not long enough to reach boot. Normally, I would plug it in the boot, if there was socket.

It has 2 front and 2 rear USB Type C sockets rated at up to 10.5 W each so much less of a need for multiple 12V sockets.

The boot is an obvious place one is missing from though. The European models have a 230V socket in the boot rated to 150W (300W for up to 2 minutes) but the UK spec doesn't have this.

It’s a shame there’s no 230V socket in the UK, I wonder if it’s a regulatory thing?

Also wonder what’s behind the blanking plug where it should be - is the inverter present but disconnected? Probably not...

usb c is great for phones /tablets ect buy im pretty sure i cannot run my dashcams or my speed cheetah of a usb-c. unless there is a way of converting 12v dc from usb -c but i very much doubt it.

I would be surprised if your dash cam used anywhere near 10W continuous power, but the placement of the USB-C isn’t ideal for a rear camera if that’s what you want it for.

I use rear USB-C socket to power my dashcam. Front ones are used by USB stick with music and cable for old phone which I use for navigation.
