    I'm reading up about the USB ports and how they aren't capable of fast charging. Just standard 5v 3a.

    It seems fairly easy to upgrade if you have a part that fits or can manufacture your own.

    I know USB-PD chargers that go in the cigarette lighter exist, but I don't want to clutter up the console area with a bulky third-party charger.

    I was looking online for parts and thought to search top brands to take their car-rated components.

    This image is from a review on a Scosche adapter:

    Though this is a whole inch shorter than another short option from Belkin, so this might have better parts:
