Modern vehicles have seen a shift from traditional cigarette lighters to more versatile power ports. These ports are perfect for using multiple gadgets simultaneously, such as charging your mobile phone and using a sat nav. The Carpoint 12/24 Volt cigarette lighter plug is suitable for standard 21mm cigarette lighters, reflecting this change. Notably, the elimination of traditional cigarette lighters in new cars has been replaced with simple power ports, enhancing convenience and safety.

Devices such as the SOAIY 3-in-1 Car Charger Air Vent Mount Holder exemplify the multifunctionality of modern car adapters. They support the simultaneous use of various in-car portable appliances like GPS, dash cams, and car vacuum cleaners. The Auto Cigarette Lighter 20mm Car Cigarette Lighter Plug is another example, designed for vehicles powered by a 12V/10A battery, showcasing the adaptability of these devices to different power needs.
Car cigarette lighter adapters also emphasize safety, featuring overload protection, working voltage protection, and short circuit protection. They are essential for charging devices on the road, particularly for devices that need a 12-volt power outlet. The design of these adapters allows for easy access to the battery, ensuring devices like car heaters, GPS, cell phones, and even tire inflators can be powered efficiently.
Despite the declining prevalence of smoking, the term “car lighter” is still often used to describe these 12V sockets or auxiliary power outlets. However, they have evolved far beyond their original purpose, now serving as a vital component in powering a wide range of devices, essential for modern driving experiences.
