    I know there is one near the console and one in the middle storage compartment but are there any near the cargo area?

    No cigarette lighters in the Prius. There are 12V electrical sockets in the front, as you describe. The Gen II Prius does not have a socket in the back. I don't believe the Gen III has one either.

    Well, I need 12v ports only (not usb) since all my devices use the 12v power cable. Is there a device for that?

    Some people wire one into the hatch area. Recall that the 12V battery is located under there, so it is easy to get plenty of power. Make sure you use a fuse.

    You can add additional 12v port. Just see the pics of where I added it.
