5V or 12V from power sockets?

Do the power sockets supply 5 or 12V on Sports?

Right, gotcha.
Another question - if you plug one of the USB adaptors into the 12V ciggy socket then do they step down the voltage to 5V? Visitor from fullfatrr.com

If it is a ciggy lighter adapter with a USB socket on it, then yes I would assume so. 5 volts is what USB devices need. 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

Yes all USB is 5v.
The only thing you want to look out for is whether an adapter is putting out 1000mA or 2000mA. Essentiall, android phones, iphones, etc, use 1000mA to charge but iPads and some tablets will use 2000mA. Phone can use 2000mA too and will charge faster but repeatedly doing this will reduce the battery life.

Most USB sockets in cars for media charge at just under 1000mA and so if you're using a device for bluetooth phone call through the car and media the rest of the time, etc, especially if you're also using it for screen mirroring or Nav, you can soemtimes find that the phone is still discharing quicker than it's charging.
