Technical USB-c port power output

[GregNorthEast]

Good afternoon.
Does anyone know the maximum output of the port installed in the 2024 500e (usb-c in the central console)?

Hello,

Have you checked in the manual? Is there any specific marking around the port?

Just had a look through the manual for you and it doesn't mention an output spec.

Hopefully someone else can help

Traditionally the FIATS have a Max Wattage printed on the Cig sockets dust cap ( 5 Watts)

I suppose that would be a good indication

Hi. Nothing there. Rarely is. Standard USB-c ports allow up to 15W. Higher power ones 60-100W This however remains mystery for now. I am going to contact Fiat UK

5W doesn’t seem to be correct for the cig socket, 0.41A is well below what any socket can offer. Unless you mean amperage. With 5 amps would return 60W. This however doesn’t give any indication in relation to the usb circuit. I am going to ask Fiat and share any findings. Thanks.

Take a look at the various socket symbols described https://www.kensington.com/news/docking-connectivity-blog/usb-c-demystified/

If the socket doesn't have any symbol next to it at all, I'd put money on it just being a dumb charge only (15W max@5V) output.

That’s my suspicion. Thank you for your response.

I suggest you use a converter plugged into the 12V socket, which the manual states supports 13A. Then you would probably be limited to the rating of the converter.
