Impossible?

2018 High'N'Dry USB port must be broken or is a mal-engineered piece of ****.
FWIW, I use the USB ports in my Fords for charging phones and playing flashdrives.

Read elsewhere USB ports can be too under-powered and will work for devices but not to charge them. You could use cigarette lighter adapter to charge things.

Yah, you're right. It just seems silly to do that in a vehicle.

What, keeping your phone/tablet charged in a car seems silly? Recent
3-day 1K-mile trip through Utah, and I ran my phone down taking photos.
A car charger is essential.
