It looks like the newest 2024 builds have switched over to USB C in the rear seats. Haven't seen that mentioned but just offering it up as an observation...

 

This is something I’m annoyed with. My ‘23 was missing them on delivery like many others, and when LR finally retrofit them later, it was just two USB-C as well. Older models (2020 to maybe 2021/22..?) had wiring for four outlets (and came with four outlets) but now there’s only enough for two. So we’ll always have two blanks, or if we want to add a couple 12V plugs, we need to buy aftermarket splitters

 

My 24 has the other kind…. Just USB I guess. Easy to update to usb c?

 

Never mind, found it: https://www.powerfuluk.com/collectio...-defender-l663

 

I bought 3 of the USBC's from Simon's site and installed 2 where they are pictured to replace useless USB A and then also replaced the in dash (in front of passenger) USB A with the 3rd USB C. A great update. I have zero devices that have USB A left and there's still one in the center should we ever need it.

I will say it might be better to take the console lid and back HVAC components apart to push the existing USB ports / power ports out from the inside instead of prying them from the outside. They are ridiculously difficult to pry out without scratching up the center console.

 

I also heard that the USB-C and probably less for the USB-A are only 10-12 charge watts. So fast charging out of the USB-C might end up being just sorta fast charging. can anyone else confirm. And what happens to the charge watts if multiple USB-C or USB-A are in use at the same time? iPhone fast charge starts at 20 watts.

 

good q, wonder how you test.
