This is an ad for something CT-scan-related, but it contains a good breakdown of how an old car cigarette lighter works. And it has a couple interactive CT Scan explorers past the video.

My electric car only has USB ports and no cigarette lighter, so I bet you're right about it being replaced.

My first GPS came with a cigarette lighter plug.

My next one came with a USB cable along with a cigarette lighter to USB adapter.

I think most these days now come with a USB cable but no adapter.

I’m now starting to see some devices come with USB-C cables.

You're still buying GPS devices? What's wrong with your phone?

Not judging - genuinely curious why some people buy them.

Bought my first one probably 20+ years ago at this point.

Bought my second one probably 10+ years ago when traveling abroad and it was more reliable and cheaper to have offline maps of the countries I was going to.

We like to travel to places that often have spotty cellular coverage, if at all.
