Some time ago, I created a thread on how to add another 12 volt outlet inside the center console (Adding another 12V outlet). since many cars already have the wiring installed from the factory.
You can also add another 12 volt outlet on the back of the center console below the rear passenger USB outlets because the wiring is also there as well. Just pop off the rear cover to the center console by using a trim tool on the upper corners and pulling to the rear. If you have that wire for the 12 volt outlet, it will be clipped to the back of the panel:

Adding another 12 volt outlet to the back of the panel is just like adding one inside the console: same part numbers. Just drill a 1" hole below the USB with a forstner bit, place a notch at the bottom for the key way on the cover, install the cover and the 12 volt socket, plug the wires in, reinstall the panel, and you are done.

At the same time, you can change the USB-a outlet for one with a USB-c : Usb-a usb-c

. Actually behind the pop out cover dummy housing is empty.
