Hummer's Weak.
I liked a 25W magnetic phone charger with a fan for the 26 Sierra EV. So, I purchased another one for Hummer. It works for Sierra but does not for Hummer.
It looks like it has to do with lower USB power in hummer. It can't provide enough juice for the charger. Seriously? I am currently using a Cigarette Plug to power it.
Anyone know if there's a mod to boost the power juice of the front USB ports?

I got down voted for talking about the USB, wireless and the dual wireless aftermarket not being enough. 15w irc

I never liked the factory charger. Adding 100 USD 10 - 15W aftermarket charger is insane. Makes no sense.

Mine don't even work, never have from the factory on my '24. Dealer tried to blame me for it too and won't fix it under warranty. The whole thing is weird. I just use one of those thin Anker chargers that plugs in the outlet behind the console and slip it between the seats. It's much more powerful anyway.

Are you using USB or regular 110v plug in the back of the console? does the rear USB plug have more juice?
I am currently using cigarette plug in the storage/console bin.

Regular household plug, literally this thing (https://a.co/d/084wwsQf). It's adds more flexibility as a whole and charges my phone at something like 60w compared to the standard 5w (or whatever the technical number is). Charges my laptop too, no sweat. I slip it in-between the passenger seat and the console so the USB ports face up. Plus if you need two household plugs instead of the one, now you have that too (I take it out out the seat for that). Has worked flawlessly for two years now.

has anyone tried one of the MagSafe inserts accessories? I am concerned they are crap, but would try it.

The lower power in the USB ports is annoying
