Where is the charging port located on the Corolla?

The charging interface of the Corolla is located under the center console, in front of the gear shift lever. The USB port can be used for data transfer as well as charging mobile phones. Precautions for charging in a car: Beware of excessive current: When charging a mobile phone, do not plug the charging cable directly into the car's audio interface. Most car interfaces have a current of only 5V 0.5A, and too low a current can damage the phone. Dedicated converter: When using a car charger, a dedicated in-car converter should be used. When charging a mobile phone, it should distinguish between 1A and 2A currents. When purchasing a car charger, choose one of high quality with reliable guarantees. In-car devices are frequently used, so safety must be ensured. Vehicle shutdown: Avoid using the car battery to charge mobile phones or tablets for extended periods, as this can affect the battery's lifespan. When using a car charger, it's best to use a one-to-three splitter so devices like dash cams and radar detectors can be used simultaneously. The Corolla, previously known as the 'Corolla' in some markets, is a brand under Toyota Motor Corporation. Toyota Motor Corporation, headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, and Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan, is a renowned automobile manufacturer affiliated with the Mitsui zaibatsu. Its brands include Lexus and other high, mid, and low-end vehicle series. The Corolla's body dimensions are 4635mm*1780mm*1455mm. It comes with three engine options: a 1.2T turbocharged, a 1.5L naturally aspirated, and a 1.8L naturally aspirated hybrid. Transmission options include a CVT continuously variable transmission, a 6-speed manual transmission, and an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. The gasoline version has a 50L fuel tank, while the hybrid version has a 43L tank, with NEDC combined fuel consumption ranging from 4.0-5.6L. The 1.2T version has a maximum power output of 85kW and a maximum torque of 185Nm. The 1.5T version produces 89kW and 148Nm, while the 1.8T version delivers 72kW and 142Nm. The Corolla is equipped with Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutches, and high-performance brake pads to ensure optimal sporty performance.
As a long-time Corolla owner with 4-5 years of driving experience, let me explain the charging port locations: There are mainly two spots. First is the USB port for phone charging, located beneath the front center console in the small storage compartment ahead of the gear shift - just look down to see it. The second is a cigarette-lighter-style power outlet near the glove box, which can be used with an adapter. Higher trim models even have USB ports hidden below the rear air vents, making charging super convenient for backseat passengers. The new plug-in hybrid Corolla Twin Engine E+ features an additional charging port on the right rear fender, symmetrically opposite the fuel filler - just flip open the cover to charge.
